I'm using StartOS as a node right now and it's cool. I am finding that having access to a full OS like Parmanode would indeed be useful sometimes. Both were shit easy to setup on a mini PC I had sitting around. Install both if you can. More nodes on the network. I'm going to install Parma again as well once I get my new PC. I tried Umbrel and really hated that it would autoupdate my node. That's not a feature when it comes to nodes in my opinion. I like to see if any debates or issues are happening (etc) before updating. I'm not sure if Parmanode updates with the base OS or not. nostr:npub1ltt9gry09lf2z6396rvzmk2a8wkh3yx5xhgkjzzg5znh62yr53rs0hk97y

But even if it did, you could exclude it when updating I'm sure. Umbrel didn't seem to be about what I wanted when I tried it out. It was also goofy in other ways. A lot less stable too.
