 That's a myth. You could have a decent node in 3 days spending only 5 minutes a day on it with zero command line interaction.  
 Yeah I've been running a lightning node on umbrel for a few years with about 20 channels, still use it every day to zap and stuff. Not many issues and have done 0 maintenance in the past year. Maybe I'm lucky  
 nah youre doin it right. the lightning FUD people are those who have never actually tried it  
 spinning up nodes is very easy.  What to do if something goes wrong, such as data corruption, hardware faults...etc...  is something else entirely on Lightning. 
 What do you do if the sun explodes idk  
 Yup, that's the point, you don't know.
