When a noob installs umbrel and wants to have a Bitcoin Node he will be fooled into installing Core because this is the default Bitcoin Node app.
This can very easily be made more honoust and fair by giving the user a choise to install any type of Bitcoin Node (Knots, Core, Libra) when he clicks the install button of the ‘Bitcoin Node’ app.
I am probably wrong on this, but most don’t have the experience to differentiate between the three.I did not until I got more experience and then I’m like why change. I’m sure there are reason to do it. If that is the case then I would have started with Ubuntu and built it out from there. knowledge is power.
Core has been a monopoly ever since, it’s not Umbrel’s fault, actually it’s nice to see other options on Umbrel, some other OS don’t even have other options.
