not if you do transaction pruning...though then there is some additional setup to ensure you can get the blocks you need when LN needs them
Ah .... then......just use a regular Linux distro

Me after reading this thread:
This device has to be online 24x7 to keep channels open in lightning right?
No, my node is off pretty much all the time, I just turn it on when I need to make a payment
Though in order not to have to trust my counterparty, I do have to "check in" (i.e. open the wallet) once every two weeks or trust a watchtower
