That makes sense. I am sure that is a common answer. Its not all that hard anymore. And there are some somewhat plug and play solutions I think? I am using a umbrel node on a pi 4. I have heard of something called start 9. Not sure how easy that is.
start9 is awesome! click, btc node...click, electrs server...click, lnd node

Kind of pricey. I assume they are more powerful. Can they be used for things other than nodes?

Very cool. I didn't know that.

What makes that a better option than a PC or a pi? I'm assuming it's easier.

That's a big bonus. I like that.

I also run a home media server off a pi. And I have used one for retro gaming in the past. They are super useful and fun to play with. I am not super technical and still am able to figure it out with YouTube. I recommend it for sure. I like that option because it's always useful for something.
