Lightning Network
The Lightning Network (LN) allows users of a digital wallet to transfer BTC to another without any fees. This is achieved by adding a second layer to the Bitcoin network to enable transactions between parties off the blockchain(off-chain transactions).
I think you're missing out something from this part that you said transfer without any fee, lightning network is not a zero fee rate to use for making transaction despite is a second layer transaction, it is rather made subsidized, which means it has a lower fee rate and not a zero fee rate to use it, it addresses the issues of scalability, affordability and transaction speed all together.
LN was meant to address Bitcoin scalability, thereby processing faster and lower cost transactions on the Bitcoin network. There have been speculations that the LN method isn't secure, as it exposes people's BTC to theft, but I hope to use it someday since I haven't come across any articles of stolen BTC due to LN. Please pardon my excitement, but I think LN is really cool.
You may not have to believe in what everyone is saying, in other for you to learn more further on lightning network, read these threads
All Lightning network threads in one.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5345664.01. Nobody subsidize fee when you use LN, whether we're talking about routing fee or on-chain TX fee when opening/closing LN channel.
2. Zero fee is still possible if LN node between sender and receiver choose not to charge any routing fee.
Which Bitcoin wallet(not Bitcoin Core) allows users to send any fee?
Lets say I want to send a transaction with $0.01 fee or 0.00000001.
I know miners will never process the transaction, I see people doing this kind of transfer all around blockchain but I never found a wallet that allows it and my laptop has only 512GB, I can not download BTC core for this.
Don't make a too low transaction which may result into dust, others are doing doesn't mean it the right thing everyone can also do, the kind of wallet we make use doesn't determine the fee rate we are been charged, we only need to know when the mempool is less busy to accommodate lower transaction fees, our wallets used can also be used to modify the fee rate to a little adjustable rate which we can be able to afford for the transaction we want to make, so i will say that we make use of the kind of wallet that allows for that like electrum or blue wallet among others.
1. @entropybit asking about which wallet let user create TX with low fee rate, not create TX which create dust (output with small value).
2. Other points are correct, but not relevant with quoted @entropybit question.
3. Electrum (GUI desktop version) doesn't let you create TX with fee wanted by @entropybit.
When it comes to privacy matters, we should know that it's either we have it or not having it at all, I know quite alright before now that Wasabi has been a good recommendation for use of privacy in the bitcoin community, but later on, there came about the discovery that makes the people doubt about their status quo with privacy offers since their involvement with other entities that does not support for that, I just wish they have always been as how they have started with before everything changed that users are now scared of securing their privacy with them.
Privacy is more complex than we have it or not having it at all. That's why some people talks about privacy
threat model. Proton write fairy good blog about it on

I think the configuration of the bitcoin core installation has been program by default to execute launch once the software client is being operated or initialized, the same way you happen to launch the software from the data directory, i don't know if ranochigo have additional information on this, but base on by perception, i think it will all run together by default at the same time when the software is launched
This reply is poorly written and it's hard to understand what it actually wanted to say. But it's clear that Bitcoin Core will not run automatically next time after you run it manually for first time.
but idont have these huge specs and also poor internet so it'll take forever
- Bitcoin Core requires just 2 GB of RAM, and about 700 GB for storage, which can be reduced by more than 90% if you enable pruning (with pruned=550).
- How bad Internet connection? Downloading 700 GB shouldn't take more than two days, even in cases with very slow download speed.
I wouldn't experiment with my money, if I were you (it is clear that you don't know what you're doing). You used Bitcoin Core to receive the bitcoin, use it again to recover it.
The problem here that I dont even have 20 gigabytes free and the internet bad and still limited so If i spent money for getting another space and also for many times renew the internet quota it will be waste of money espicially that I dont know if there's a money or not (if I 100% know there is a money on it I'll spent the money )
In this case then I think it's very simple, if you think you value the quantity of assets worth on that wet with bitcoincore, then you shouldn't hesitate on getting a new device that could have the required specification of what is been needed for you to be able to use bitcoincore on your device, aside it seems you're not getting the whole idea of what had been suggested to you for using the pruning method in achieving this.
This reply isn't helpful since,
1. New device alone wouldn't solve problem of slow connection.
2. Pruning node still require you to download whole blockchain.
3. On older posts, @Sadderr already state he already tried another way to access his Bitcoin.
