If you were going to host your own lightning channel on Linux. What would you use?

Here are the conditions:

- Albyhub is not eligable.

- Does not require a lot of SATS do start.

- Must be Linux distro agnostic.

- No electrum (Don't have 200k SATS to open)

- Must be reliable, open source, and trustworthy.

just run core-lightning...

I would think the limiting factor and major concern is what service you're going to use to do this, not the OS.

Aren't they all OS-agnostic, unless the code is compiled for a specic architecture?

That was my main concern with that requirement was package formatting. So flatpaks, docker (meh), pip, something that may already exist in the repos, or running it in a virtual machine as a backup option, but that fucked me over recently. My distro has a large software repo, but doesn't always play nice with all the packaging formats out there such as appimages.

Stop overthinking it? The daemons are what get you there, not necessarily the OS, and those are generally supported across all of the distros available out there.
