My primary issue with Umbrel was its approach to updates. It defaulted to automatic updates for everything and I tired of trying to change that. That approach may be fine for most apps, but I don't think Bitcoin full nodes should be updated automatically. We need most people on the network being actively involved with node management, in my opinion. Each update is effectively a vote, and a policy of automatic voting for the majority of voters seems like a recipe for disaster with something like Bitcoin.

None of that is to say that you shouldn't run a node if you're unwilling to research each update. It could be the case that having a portion of nodes be completely patched and updated is a good thing. I just think having too many is a potential attack vector.

I use the Start9 OS for now, but plan to switch to Parmanode next year.
