    Not as far as I know. One can look up a certain motherboard or laptop to check if it's compatible with Linux before buying it.

    The author had hardware with known compatibility issues. They've decided to make some rather strange choices, including the use of NTFS as a file system for their data. I don't wan…

    This device has planned obsolescence written all over it. The pen includes a built-in rechargeable battery. The device's battery is also not user replaceable. These are the same is…

    It is unfortunate if you want to deduplicate and encrypt in the target backup.

    Do you plan to fix https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549 ?

    There's no such desktop PC which offers 128 GB of VRAM. The Framework Desktop doesn't do that for the time being. It's not yet available. There will be more options by the time thi…

    It is indeed better than the Mac. It's still 1000 times worse than a regular desktop PC which lets people swap RAM modules, the CPU, add a dGPU and so on.

    I'm aware of all the limitations they've brought up and how it was sold to the public. It's not as if someone forced them to build this product. They've chosen to build it this way…

    There's absolutely nothing repairable about this computer. The motherboard is the entire computer. Only the storage can be replaced. Do you plan to make computers which can actuall…

    This is a cool product for people who want a lot of RAM for LLMs. Those like me who build their own systems would get better value out of a machine they've built. The only parts wh…

    This is all fluff. It doesn't provide any proof such as links to these changes.

    Thanks. I understand where you're coming from now. Your requirement to use Python code for automation could be satisfied by an external component which uses the Home Assistant API …

    It's a major pain to write YAML for Home Assistant. Some parts of Home Assistant lack complete examples which are up to date. The documentation doesn't include examples for every s…

    Tuya's entire business model is about getting their customers' data and getting them to pay for their services through vendor lock-in. They're not going to give up on all that juic…

    Those are just the direct dependencies as far as I can tell. The frontend has its own dependencies.

    Home Assistant and the Home Assistant Operating System have a log of bugs, regressions, shortcomings and usability problems. They have far too many problems for me to even track th…

    As I've written in the other comment, the Home Assistant Operating System is useless without an Internet connection. It has to pull the Docker images since it doesn't have any vers…

    A fresh Home Assistant Operating System installation is useless without an Internet connection. It needs to download several gigabytes of Docker images for it to be usable. It's ve…

    How do you like the Discord based forums? Having knowledge buried in a proprietary closed source platform hosted by a third party is another problem. They can wipe out countless po…

    https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/requirements... lists all the direct dependencies installed in the container. It's enough for just a single direct or indirect depen…

    This isn't some regular contributor. They appear to be one of the most important Home Assistant maintainers and a Nabu casa employee. This contributor is also the author of many re…

    I've been using Home Assistant for about three years. I was very glad it exists. I wanted to make the most out of it. It has numerous problems and regressions are very frequent. Th…

    Their tech may be more than adequate today. Bigger businesses may not buy from a small startup company. They expect a lot more. Illumos is a less popular OS. It wouldn't be the fir…
