I'd like to use z-wave but as an Australian we have different allowed frequency bands (specifically the USA-market gear uses frequencies that are reserved for telecom use over here…

Don't @ me until they bring back Sid Meier's SimGolf

Comedy option: Give them Linux From Scratch [1] and the minimum set of tools and packages required to bootstrap it. App store? Yeah we have one, it's called make . [1] https://www.…
