then decide what to install
i like manjaro based on archlinux, easy to install
mx is also easy to install based on debian
debian is free software
debian does not work with the umbrel script but it works with any other lightning software
https://mynodebtc.com/ #MyNode image is Debian and free - BTC Node, LN Node, Nostr relay, create the USB stick, plug n play!
I really wanted to use manjaro, but proved to be a little challenging for my needs. I am hoping to try it again soon when i learn more about its commands and repos... there is also less community support to rely on than debian or unbutu based distros. But I do love what they are doing!
