Continuing my attempt at an "easy mode" bitcoin node build on a used Lenovo laptop (~$120?).
Installing Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.3 LTS was smooth. Installing Umbrel via their bash script was easy once the Docker registry server was back online.
PROBLEM: Umbrel apps wouldn't install via the web UI. Had to free up port 53 for some reason.

Okay, now we're finally cooking!
Will let it do a full IBD just to see what this CPU (Intel Core i3-10110U) is capable of. It's overkill for our needs, while still being a 4-yr-old cpu and still quite cheap. Came with 16GB RAM and I swapped in an okay 2TB nvme.
That's 4.6x more powerful than a Raspi4. IBD started about 5 minutes ago. We'll see how long it takes to finish.
