I’m running HASS with the HASSOS VM image and it’s pretty solid. I’ve never tried running a custom install of HASS on a Linux system I installed separately but I can’t imagine that being much fun. HASSOS is pretty much an appliance at that point. I can’t remember the last time I had to ssh into it. Upgrades, backups, etc are all done via the web UI or the iOS app with a couple of clicks.

I (tried) using it since 2017, and there's been a ton of breaking changes since. Basically a major redesign of everything. The overall trend is a move from programmability to (in my experience fragile) UI centric. Even worse is when you have some more obscure components that just quietly get dropped.

  > there's been a ton of breaking changes since. Basically a major redesign of everything That's exactly why I stopped using it. I used it for five years and witnessed tons of features introduced then dropped and re-architectures for no other reason than the devs got bored with something. One example is dropping support for Python 3.7 earlier this year when 3.7's not EOL for another two years. Maintainability is of little concern for this project.
