Home Assistant Installation Methods

As someone who is about to rebuild his Hassio install I found this table invaluable. I actually relate to @Troon’s post, and getting out of the docker paradigm for pretty much the same reasons is why I’m personally looking to rebuild in the first place so that specific column makes it very clear what my options are.

I do understand the sentiment against using a “warning red cross” but it’s probably correct as those who actively want to move away from using docker probably won’t mind too much and for everyone else having a supervised set up is probably a net positive.

The one thing I’m still missing in the overall picture is what “supervised” actually means, feature wise. There’s a scattering of features listed in various places (add-ons, snapshots, etc) but not a definitive list that I could find. If there is one I’d love to be pointed to it?
