Umbrel is great as a ‘personal server’ on Pi type of sovereign stack, but absolutely terrible for running a LN routing node. It’s just that they have shifted focus from BTC/LN (which is fine). Users should realize there are far better / more dependable ways to run a lightning node if that’s what they are wanting to do. For self-hosted apps it’s a super cool piece of software though.

Have heard great things about Start9 and totally agree x86 is superior to the pi is so many way, but unfortunately the are not FOSS either, which is preferable.

its free software now!

check out https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os/releases

and its on github so i guess its open source

Still not FOSS. It's nuanced, but an important distinction

didnt wanted to argue there.

for me its ok because installing every service on a linux machine would be to hard for me.

If it works for you that's all that matters! I will be testing it out on a new machine myself, and do think it's a great platform. Just want to point out the difference between true FOSS and open-source code (both are important IMO)
