 CLN is terrible 
 Have you tried on Start9 or Umbrel? Besides one freeze scaring me since CLN uses the hsm secret rather than a typical seed phrase(which imo wasn’t a real issue since it just needed a restart and was never truly in danger), I’ve never had an issue with CLN. 
 Tried it in start 9 and it was terrible! I was using RTL to operate it and channels wouldn’t open 
 Hmm weird. I’ve never tried with RTL so I cannot speak to that. I’ve only used the CLN app itself, which to be fair is fairly basic. The default CLN app has never had a hiccup though beyond one freeze, though I think that was a hardware issue. 
 What’s your hardware? 
 Start9 on a start9 purchased device. If you have a rasberry pi it doesn’t surprise me if lightning doesn’t work well(especially as you add and actively run more and more apps). Would strongly recommend using at least an Intel NUC style device with an SSD, and I think buying an actual start9 device is also a great way to support the project. 
 I agree 1000% pi nodes are terrible
