I used Umbrel quite a long time, I wrote several guides about and I helped many noobs to get in. But after the v0.5.x I stopped using it. They changed all the folders structure and all the apps and nothing works again as it should be. A total mess.

I used many type of nodes in the last 4 years, I even made a list here, including Start9, briefly few months testing it.

I consider Start9OS far more stable and well done than UmbrelOS. I personally do not like these bundle nodes, I like more those modulars that you can DIY, for example MiniBolt, or just pure Bitcoin Core + LND/CLN + Fulcrum and NOTHING ELSE.

But for a total noob, yes these bundle nodes are a good option.
