 I never saw the point of pi's given their price.
I got this instead:

Perfect for #Start9  OS ;-) 
 Start9 is lightning bullshit? 
 you need to get on the lightning train 
 Start9 is a server that that lets you install Bitcoin Core and Lightning Nodes as well as other self hosted services like email, file server, tailscale, nostr relay, etc.

Highly recommended.  Very stable. 
 Any linux distro does that. I have no interest in bitcoin.  
 well the topic was about hardware anyway.
Was more interested on your thoughts about the link I posted for that.
 
 Intel mini PC. Any Linux distro will work with it. I don't remember how big the chain is, but 1 TB should be enough.  
 yes that is correct.
I have been using it for a couple of months now.
Much better investment than a pi 
 How much will you make from running a lightning node? 
 I don't know.
I'm not running a lightning node. 
 So how are you gonna make money with the hardware?

 It's just another generic boring distro.
