I have noticed that it seems a challenge to new or non tech savy folks to choose between light wallet and full node.
They think that light walles equals less features and choose full node or choose full node for other reasons.

Consequently, they complain about large disk utilisation, slow loading times (sync times) of the client.
Some discussion can be found on chia forum with multiple users complaining:
https://chiaforum.com/t/the-main-technical-issue-that-is-keeping-xch-price-down/17954

I have also experienced the first setup process with friends where it wasnt clear even for tech-savy persons to choose between light wallet and full node.

Therefore I propose to set the light wallet for GUI as default. (The full node is still accessible through gui settings)
If for whatever reason, this seems unfeasible, I propose to change the name from light wallet to wallet.
Sodas and consumables have it that the word light is connected to something removed and/or replaced with something of less quality which nobody seems to want.

Or add subtitles under the titles.
Something like if you farm and have this main PC (disks with plots).
And the second subtitle is just a wallet, suitable for non-working devices.

And maybe even a link with detailed descriptions.
