If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

I'm running the docker version as I'm also using the rpi for other things, like imageview and pi hole. I don't really miss addons, the only annoying thing is that most documentation assumes you're running ha os.

But if you don't plan to use it for anything else than HA, I'd go for HA OS.
