In general, it's easier to start on XOA (you can have a free trial with all features) to discover the ecosystem. Because XOA is more tested and also comes with an updater AND a way to give us access remotely to investigate a problem. So please deploy an XOA and report if it's better
On which commit are you right now? Are you on the right version of node? (that's the questions you wouldn't have to answer if you were on XOA for example 😄 )
