Absolutely! It's crazy that normies can't do this. Go to your local computer store. Buy a Raspberry Pi. Buy an SDcard. Download a file. Flash it onto the SDcard. Realize you don't have a card slot. ...

Small update as my first node on RPi4 +1TB was dying. I had to sync it back from zero and now it is 2nd month with several crashes and pruned node around 90% synced. This is no time for RPi anymore. Do not go for it.

Use 10year old laptop with i5 gen 4+ 16GB RAM and 2TB SDD and sleep well.

Old laptop or mini PC is the way to go. Old laptop also gives you a screen, keyboard and battery (UPS) which is cool.

While I 100% agree, since that's what my node runs on, and I too was an original Raspberry Pi and Umbrel user for 3.5 years before upgrading to an old laptop over 2 years ago, I still feel that the steps here are basically the same.

How much is this the Pi and how much is you running more things on the SD card than is optimal? Been meaning to move my ~/.lnd over to /mnt/ anyway...
