Depends on the node, the plug and play servers like nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct which I use or the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll (and both operating systems are free if you have hardware to run them) are fast and easy once the blockchain is synced, running a lightning node is a whole different animal in itself… took me about a year of playing with it to learn how to use it for what I needed it to do
