The first problem, is you are running a node on Start9. Easy, yes. But what if they are compromised? If you are intent on running a BTC node, then you may want to consider using an older laptop, strictly for this purpose. Install a Linux distro, and implement the BTC node software. I prefer Linux Mint. The Bitcoin core is available in the software manager.

Ok. Yes. I am speaking of extremes. Thanks for the sarcasm 😂

I mean if we put it like that every "centralized" repo could be compromised, even debian or flathub. Also, probably the user has a node with additional services like electrs, mempool, ln and stuff, so not really that good to use a desktop distro for that.

From the sound of it he’s also running a lightning node.

Yeah, lightning is cumbersome to handle, even for Bitcoin veterans.
