I think it might depend on how technical you are. Have to start with hardware. I had an old computer kicking around and decided to use that. I know raspberry pi 4 are very popular but prices are super inflated and hard to get a hold of. You might be better served with a laptop or older used computer.
I watched YouTube vids from BTC Sessions and Ministry of Nodes to get started. I also asked a bunch of questions on Nostr. The community here is an insanely valuable resource!
