The HAOS virtual appliance is awesome though.

Aren't the "official" Home Assistant Yellow and Green boxes they sell basically Raspberry Pis with stable power supply and good storage?

At some point the problem stops being my fault and must be the ecosystem. I bought official power supplies, I bought top tier SD cards, I bought special hats to use NVME with RPi, they all sucked IMHO. Maybe I am "holding it wrong" but after buying every RPi from the original B to the 5th gen with the max ram I'm done. Also the foundation seems to have lost its way (especially through COVID) so I'm not really interested in support them anymore even if I found their hardware to be reliable.
