Hello, I would like to know what’s better, faster, more efficient on a regular laptop: 1- To run home assistant supervised (on Debían 10)? 2- To download a virtual machine (choose any OS) and install an image? I know that installing HA supervised can be tricky and hard for non-advanced user, but …

The only advantage afforded by vm is the ability to make a backup of the whole VM. Performance wise there will be some degrade compared to ha supervised. Also, more layers of software to keep up to date etc. Supervised is no longer deprecated, the Devs saw hope many of us use it and decided to kee…

[image] samnewman86: only supporting one underlying os, debian And in one very specific configuration - which almost nobody follows.

Mainly just the point of not running ANY other software. Kind of defeats the purpose of supervised. If hassos wasn’t so locked down I’d probably use it. I don’t think it was even possible to install it on my machine, a standard ex windows pc, not an nuc. I tried the nuc image but it doesn’t work…

I just went for Debian. I was just surprised not to see a hassos image for what you’d expect to be the most popular platform. Everyone has an old pc or laptop laying around

it is not difficult....if you can copy and paste. Just follow: [image] Installing Home Assistant Supervised using Debian 12 Community Guides Installing Home Assistant Supervised using Debian 12 stop_sign Before proceeding, please read the following informatio…

Remove the hard drive from the laptop, use a SATA to USB Adapter Cable to flash the NUC Image to the drive using balenaEtcher. Reinstall the drive in the laptop, boot, enjoy.

That doesn’t work, it just hangs on boot. I gave up and happily went supervised.

why, just use docker… you’ll need few other supporting services, mqtt etc docker-compose can take care of those very easy to maintain

It depends on the laptop, it didn’t work on mine, that’s why I started with HA supervised

What's better? VM or supervised (for a laptop)
