But like guys, can I have a desktop lighting wallet? Like a real proper application not a web browser?

No soup for you!

maybe only on electrum is possible

Everything I saw for electrum lighting was mobile. I have electrum as a watch only btc at the moment. Maybe I'm just an idiot?

I saw a testnet video, I think it's there

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm has a desktop version of AlbyHub that's very similar to running a lightning node. It does have to always be on which might be an issue for some.

I maintain a mini data-center at home which must run 24/7 and make money :) My issue is most of the lighting related projects (that aren't mobile wallets) are unstable and/or just disregard some standard security practices, and have horrible UX. I already have enough server maintenance and aggressive security practices I'm cautious to add more security holes and headaches to the network.

Try our Hub, you can run it on your own device if you run it 24/7 anyway!

I should have thanked you for the recommendation too!
