the distro doesn't matter. what matters is not having/relying on 3rd party software. umbrel is selling you a server solution you don't need. it's almost as bad as keeping your coins on Robinhood. run Bitcoin core or Bitcoin knots on an old laptop or old pc, it probably costs less anyway.

Oh the umbrel server they sell, yeah that’s unnecessary. You could just run a raspberry pi 24/7 for dirt cheap. Not sure what you mean by 3rd party software or how it compares to not holding your keys. Could you explain?
