Bitcoin Core is the canonical way to run Bitcoin. If you want to send or receive Bitcoin or understand how it works, installing and running Bitcoin Core is a must. If you are not a technical user, you may use Umbrel as a wrapper to Bitcoin Core, which will install it and manage it for you.

Cons
  • UX may seem clumsy the first time but it's getting better
  • It may take days to download the blockchain depending on your disk and bandwidth speed, but that's by design
  • Support for commercial hardware wallets is still missing, and I think they will keep it that way
