  • Why is Home Assistant an operating system and not an application installable through distro packages?

    Jump

  • this is probably a ton of work, for which a purpose-built solution already exists: Docker

    LOL Docker isn't a "solution" to the pressure of good engineering.

    I disagree.

  • He alone has behaved like a child, dragging his end users along with him in his over-reliance on one failure point for his entire distribution system

    Yeah, this is exactly as expected. Someone with poor engineering skills finding themselves in a position of power and making sure everyone knows they're king of the hill. See this kind of thing all the time unfortunately :-(

  • They already pay attention to deployment and support several methods. Sure it's not the method you have in mind. But the world doesn't specifically revolve around you.

    It's not my method. Writing software with distributions in mind is the standard in free software development.

    It's just not easy.

    Indeed. That's why many engineers don't bother. Especially poor engineers.

  • You should ask this to your favourite distro packagers, not to the home assistant developers.

    I disagree. The Home Assistant developers are the ones who chose to create an OS. They could have chosen to create distro packages instead, or at least software which is amenable to being packaged by distros.

    obsolete

    What does that mean in the context of Home Assistant?

  • A lot of software isn't packaged for Debian.

    Yes, often projects which are engineered without distros in mind. Which is to say, engineered poorly.

  • You didn't mention in your OP that it had to be debian distro packages.

    It doesn't. WTF are you talking about?

  • That's manual installation which is (a) not distro packages and (b) exactly what distro packages are created to avoid.

  • What do you mean with "Operating System"?

    If I go to

    https://www.home-assistant.io/

    and click on "Installation", ignoring the custom Home Assistant hardware, the first relevant section is "DIY with Raspberry Pi" whose tutorial has a section "Install Home Assistant Operating System".

    The second relevant section of the Installation page is "Install on other hardware" with a paragraph whose second sentence is "The Home Assistant Operating System allows you to install Home Assistant on these devices even if you have little to no Linux experience."

  • all the add-ons and extra user stuff

    You're hand-waving the answer to my question :-) What add-ons and extra user stuff require Home Assistant to be an OS?

    If you did all that as a package install, you would complain about all the dependancies and if you didnt install the right version of something Home Assistant might not work at all

    That's not how packages work. The packagers take care of all that. That's the point.

  • They don't need to be taxed more, they need to have their wealth confiscated

    FYI, the state confiscating wealth is referred to as 'tax'.

  • want’s critical thinking

    LOL I don't want anything from you.

    a gif that could be interpreted several ways

    For a critical thinker, dealing with a stimulus that is open to interpretation should be no problem.

    Maybe use words to avoid ambiguity.

    Maybe apply critical thinking in your life. Every day. Every moment. Rather than just talking about it.

    I see you're really an expert at that there critical thinking and never jump to conclusions.
