I run it on my desktop PC because there's no reason to set up a second computer just for a Bitcoin node.

So you run 24/7 your computer? What specs do you have?

Also don't you think isolating your bitcoin node from your daily life make sense? Like if anything effects your pc, affects your node.

I’ve done it both ways. Umbrel has a cool way of running a node where you can hide it away and access it remotely on your phone

The wallets associated with my full node I consider hot wallets and don't store funds in them. I just use them as pass-through wallets. 90% of my Bitcoin is in cold storage, associated with private keys that have never been on any internet connected device. Most of the other 10% I keep in Edge wallet on my phone, because they have a good security model. Wallet of Satoshi and Alby I just keep chump change in because they're not secure at all.
