Electrum is the only lightning wallet for Linux desktop*, and one of the few for other desktop platforms. Unfortunately, the minimum lightning channel size you can make in Electrum costs around $200 USD. This is a real barrier to entry for many users. I've made a Github issue/PR about it, feedback from Electrum actual users would be appreciated. For reference, Zeus and other wallets based around LND use minimum channel sizes of around $20.

lnutil: make minimum channel funding amount configurable by nothing-stops-this-train · Pull Request #10730 · spesmilo/electrum

Rationale: Electrum comes with a hardcoded constant (MIN_FUNDING_SAT) which specifies the smallest allowable lightning channel, set to 200,000 sats...

*There are other lightning wallets you can run but not as native desktop apps. They require knowledge of terminal, docker, and a bunch of other not normie friendly stuff.

I am proud to report that Electrum wallet now supports CLINK. Accept Lightning payments in your Electrum wallet via nostr. No port forwarding required. Electrum now joins @@ZEUS wallet in having CLINK support.
