Perfect if you want plug-and-play Lightning + services.&#xA;&#xA;StartOS: more opinionated toward sovereignty, cleaner separation, better for running a serious Bitcoin/Lightning stack long term, less ‘app store’ feel.&#xA;&#xA;If you want convenience + experimentation → Umbrel.&#xA;If you want maximum self-sovereignty + minimal abstraction → StartOS.&#xA;&#xA;Personally, I’d start with Umbrel to learn fast, then migrate once you feel the limits.</html></oembed>
