Why is Home Assistant an operating system and not an application installable through distro packages? (feddit.uk)

Well, yeah.

Why do you think that because a person could do something they necessarily will?

I don't, but in this case, we know it's not because they got rid of that option. Why? Because the task is infeasible to support. Kinda like you've been arguing against this entire time in the face of multiple reasons why people aren't doing it.

You're far from the first person to want this, and the devs no longer offer it as a supported method for a reason after all. No one is saying it is impossible, just not something that's feasible to create and support. This really should not be this hard of a concept to understand.

You're not making any sense.

Are you saying that the Home Assistant developers used to support distro packages?

No one is saying it is impossible

OP is saying that. They said it was "infeasible".
