RaspiBolt VS lndg

I would start my research with Umbrel, Raspiblitz, Mynodebtc, RaspiBolt or Embassy. A couple of guides: https://thecryptogarage.com/umbrel-linux-ubuntu-node-build/ https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

If you're willing to DIY a bit, I strongly recommend the RaspiBolt guide!

RPi4 in a box. Used the RaspiBolt guide for initial software setup.

Sounds like you'll enjoy the Raspibolt guide - it's how I set up my node. GUI stuff is in the "bonus" section. r/raspibolt for help

If you're the DIY type I strongly recommend the raspibolt tutorial - geared for a Pi but good for any device, just substitute arm64 for your architecture.

Check out the raspibolt tutorial. Geared for a Pi but applies well to any capable device

Another way is to setup a full node on a dedicated device and follow the guide to setup everything so you can connect a hardware wallet to your node: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

It's in the new version: https://github.com/cryptosharks131/lndg/releases/tag/v1.5.0

lndg v1.4.0 (Released: 20th November 2022) - https://github.com/cryptosharks131/lndg/releases

I'm looking for channel growth. People who are willing to connect to my node (Stinger32LND). The requirements are easy; a base fee set to zero, a Time Lock Delta of 40 or less, and an HTLC of no more than 1000. One last thing, give "LNDg" an opportunity to run your node. I enjoyed it. :-)
