I just don't get why you can only run it on a raspberry pi4 or the extremely expensive embassy pro. I can run umbrel with a mini PC that has ubuntu

Line 3 of the Umbrella Security disclosure:

Umbrel is marketed as something it is not - a secure personal server for Bitcoin and other sovereign apps. I guarantee nearly 100% of users would be shocked to find that Umbrel is not meant to be used "in production".

Embassy is secure and Start9 stands behind their product.

You can build the Embassy image yourself and install it on your own hardware for free.

Embassy has less features than Umbrel right now but it is a product you can trust.

Ethereum is testing financial products in production and blowing up people's money and private information. Umbrel is no different, except nothing has blown up... YET.

I've heard Umbrel is bad, just no actual reasons given. Always insinuations of entrapment. I haven't used Umbrel enough to discover for myself what they're talking about. Is this another linux v.s. bsd battle?

The clickbait of this title is so strange, and why so much hate for umbrel, its a normie UI interface, geez, people can migrate to citadel or just run core or pay for embassy who cares?

Isn't the entire point to get more people to run nodes?

Shots fired

Wtf does Umbrel have to do with Ethereum? This is a terribly confusing title.

That statement is a really double edge sword... there are many interpretations that make Embassy sound really bad.
