- open source: as adjective written with hyphen (according to Wiktionary)
- you --> your

- simplifications

- simplifications

- "Specialized Hardware" --> sounds a bit misleading. The hardware is not special, it is off-the-shelf hardware configured to suit the needs of LN (not like mining hardware)

Took a stab at writing about the importance of hardware, the kinds of hardware nodes, and what's needed. I decided not to mention particular Node projects as this can easily change. Although to note: we could mention MyNodeBTC, Raspiblitz, and Casa Node
Maybe this section should go higher up in this chapter.
