FFS. Does anyone know a surefire way to get a non-custodial lightning wallet set up on a Linux machine?

I spent a good chunk of the day failing.

First, I tried Alby Hub, as people were saying it is super easy. Got to the last step and it just didn't work. The file will not run as an executable. Permissions say it should.

Second, I tried LND. Their tutorial got me through installation, but configuration is getting trickier. I'm pushing the boundaries of my Linux knowledge. Trying to find config files I don't know exist and don't know their location. It's also looking like there are some dependencies I don't understand.

I've previously tried a Pi running Start9, but it just failed to download the blockchain repeatedly.

I've thought about running a Start9 on a virtual machine on my Linux PC, but got an error during initial set up.
