So the joke is on me. I've been whacking on the open source home automation systems openhab and home assistant (hass) for a while now.

"Just install our Raspberry Pi packages and it just works." Um, no it does not. Me thinks my Pi is less than stable.

Down the openhab rabbit hole. Cannot get the correct config juju for the USB Z-Wave dongle. It's just laughing at me... Did figure out JAVA_HOME.

Back to home assistant. Everything says install the Docker version but no one says why. Well, the why is because home assistant is written to Python 3.x (preferably 3.7) _but_ the major distros all still have critical stuff that only runs with Python 2.x. C'mmon Man!

So being the stubborn cuss that I am, is there a distro that uses Python 3.x by default? You guessed it - Arch linux. The Arch install process is, um, involved. Got it installed and running. But wait, you want your Realtek RTL8111 network interface? Bwahahahahaha.
