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 run (or rather playing with it for the moment) Debian on a Raspberry pi4 with docker and HA supervisor , but run out of memory as only have 2GB
It's easy to install and set up, so thinking to go for a Tiny PC anf formatting to Debian or getting a Pi with 8GB.
I tried HAOS on the pi, but couldn't get past the login console, and was lazy and didn't / couldn't find how to get past that login, and find a DE if there is one

If anyone can tell me how to do that i would be grateful
