I got into HomeAssistant in the early days, maybe around 2015. As such, I've stayed with the simpler installation method just make a hass venv and pip install homeassistant into it. This has mostly worked ok for years, and I've raised eyebrows as they've pushed more people to their linux distro, hoping they wouldn't stop supporting the basic installation method. I did finally have to install one docker thing to keep zwave working after support for the (legitimately bad) python-openzwave lib was deprecated.
