Easier options in running full node

Hello, recently I've been interested in learning on how to run my own bitcoin full node. Downloading the Bitcoin Core client software from bitcoin.org seems a bit challenging and seems like it requires to understand how to use command line functions, which I don't have a good handle on. I've come across providers such as Umbrel and myNode which both requires some separate hardware to purchase, but the setup itself seems alot more user friendlier, and they both come with a friendly UI to use when accessing the node.

Does anyone have experience setting up a full node with Umbrel or myNode? What are the technical differences between using these providers versus directly downloading Bitcoin Core software?

Thank you
