Why if I use Home Assistant Core with Raspberry Pi OS does Homeassistant open in less than 30 seconds and if I install the SD Card version it takes more than 2 minutes? Using a raspberry pi Zero W. I know it is not recommended but the only bad thing about it is the time to boot

However, your operating system’s distribution of python may not stay current enough and you may find that your current python version has been deprecated and soon may no longer be…
