The most popular implementation of a Bitcoin hardware node presently is Umbrel. There also remains a share of the market taken by The Embassy, MyNode, Raspiblitz and Nodl. Umbrel started as a simple Bitcoin and Lightning Node but has grown to match a bigger vision, one started by The Embassy.

umbrel
A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, any Ubuntu/Debian system, or a VPS.
The goal achieved by using a dedicated device (either pre-built or building it yourself) from a specific brand is to have access to a full stack of softwares and interfaces that can make your life simpler. For example, if you want to connect BlueWallet to a Bitcoin Node, you need an Electrum Server and a lot of configurations. Using a stack, like Umbrel’s, will turn command line operations into buttons and file configurations into user interface settings.
