This is very unfortunate. Rather than teaching people how to securely lock down their bitcoin wallet, we have people trying to sell you some device or software with the illusion it will protect your stack.
Heres my blog that contains several articles providing examples of creating cold wallets. cadayton.onrender.com/blog Hopefully, this helps someone over the hump.

Regardless of which Linux distro you decide to go with, I recommend you build a VM instance of it decide which one suits your needs the best.
I'm using a system76 desktop with version 22.04 (GNOME DE) and it is serving me well. On the other hand, I have 2 VMs using 24.04 (COSMIC DE) and for me it still needs to mature a little more and they are actively improving it daily.
As for apps. I would reconsider Proton in favor of tuta.com but ultimately when Nmail (Nostr mail) is stable it might be the way to go for email stuff.
I always tell myself, if my data isn't local then I'm trusting something to keep it private. For sensitive local data, it is always encrypted. VeraCrypt is my go to tool for doing this.
For Nostr, I would consider running the Gossip client too. Its not as sexy as some of the other GUI clients but it's been very helpful for me in getting my follow lists dial-in.

Well that is unfortunate but I understand your frustration. There is no way a small routing nodes can make financial sense at continuing operations based on fees collected. Likely best for small nodes to just stick to a private channel.
I've been running a Lightning Node (LND) via BTCPay Server for about 3 years at zero host costs. I've automated the shit out of so you don't have to. Go check out my blog if you ever have a renewed interest.

Here is what I do. I've been hosting a BTCPay Server instance on Oracle Cloud for close to 3 years now at zero cost. It is using LND. I've not had to go through a recovering process yet.
Monthly or so I do a application consistent Boot Volume backup of the server. The process is basically shutdown BTCPay Server instance components then do a Boot Volume backup. Takes about 30 second to complete.
Here are the details about this process.
https://cadayton.onrender.com/blog/PSOciBootBackup.html
Second, I monitoring the Forward History daily and do a static channel backup. Basically, I'm executing the 2 commands below from the CLI.
BTCpay ForwardingHistory
BTCpay ExportAllChannelBackups SCB
Here are the details about this process.

Using Cosmic after using Gnome. It take getting use to it.
When comparing File Manager Gnome is definitely better. Once when I used Cosmic Files to move a file to trash it went into an infinite loop moving the file to the trash location the fans started roaring. Now, the server isn't moving any files to the trash for some reason.
Another issue is copy stuff to the clipboard seems to be hit and miss.
Some apps work just fine other apps don't work at all.
Have yet to open any issues against it because being new to it I'm not sure if it's me or the software.

Over the past several days, I've used Maple AI to generate a web scrapping app.
I've now come to the conclusion if one is not using AI to generate their code, they will be replaced by someone who is using AI to generate code.
It's super scary how dam fast AI is at generating code and doing it well.
The work I completed with AI would have taking me at least two weeks without AI and most of this time was spent on learning how to communicate with the AI agent.

My preference is AppImage if available otherwise I go with the distro default and as last resort 'sudo apt install'.
AppImage works great because I run one main host with numerous VMs serving different functions. I locate the AppImage on one disk shared to all VMs. The one install and execute from any VM instance is the big sell point for me.
I'm using Pop!_OS 24.04 mostly and it defaults to using either Flatpak or 'sudo apt install'. An initial pain point for me with Flatpak is it stores the binaries in a unique location. To execute any flatpak installed binary for automation purpose, one has to execute 'flatpak run <appname>'.
I think the missed opportunity by most developers is not generating an AppImage for their application. It might just be me but I don't like applications pooping all over my hard disk.
