I don't use Umbrel OS. I have a pi with raspberry pi OS, it's usually off but it has a copy of bitcoin core and LND among many other apps.

It runs on Linux at least. I think calling it an OS is confusing.
It's a system that operates sandboxed apps via Docker.

It's a system that operates...apps
Hmm, talk about confusing! A system that operates apps, yes, but an operating system, no.
Hey Google, define operating system for me.

It’s an app manager.
There’s no sandboxing, and not much security in general.

I guess I meant sandboxing resources via cgroups, which is distinct from a security sandbox perhaps. (I actually don't know but AFAIK isolation is the default in Docker and you have to explicitly connect containers.)
