START9 VS UMBREL! I want to start a debate so that I can decide what to use: EMBASSY OS or UMBREL!! At the moment I can't decide and both of them seem polished and good.
Or, should I just install Bitcoin Core and LND seperately on my Windows PC and node like that?
We'll see in the debate.
or build your own and learn linux in the process https://twofaktor.github.io/minibolt/

You know there are many other node software out there, right? Why not using all? Try them all. Then you will see for yourself. Here is a full guide about all types of nodes, from which I would recommend to all to try MiniBolt DIY node.
Debating around Embassy and Umbrel is useless.

Thanks DarthCoin.

I haven't used Embassy OS so I can't compare them fairly. I like that they are both open source and anyone can review them. I will say this: the Umbrel license seems like the "freer" one to me. Embassy's license says that if you modify Embassy OS you cannot sell your modified version. Umbrel's license says you can do whatever you want as long as you include a copy of their license in your modified version.
Here are the respective githubs:
And here are their licenses:

Ah ok. I'm not concerned with which OS is freer, rather I just want to know which is more efficient and better for noding
