Thin PC or Raspberry?
Thin PC or Raspberry?
Hello
Let's see if I get this right as new to kbin though regular user (or was) on reddit , so fingers crossed
Also I see no posts as yet on Home Automation, so if I'm right, here's the first one
New to the Home Automation scene , I've been playing around with Home Assistant on a RaspberryPi 4b, but it only has 2gb running just Debian and Chromium with Home Assistant, but comes often to a grinding halt running out of memory.
So either I buy a Pi with 8gb of memory or I go for a ThinkCentre Tinys PC which is about the same price, (refurbished amazon) but also running Windows 10 😱 which I suppose i could delete and run Linux
Am I right, that this could be a slightly better option than the Pi?
Any thoughts?
I ran a pi for a couple of years. but when I started getting into containers, I was like.. I don't want home assistant managing all this. so bought a mini pc, installed proxmox, and run everything in lxcs or vms under proxmox. it just works. I used this procedure here https://github.com/Kanga-Who/home-assistant/blob/master/Home%20Assistant%20with%20Proxmox%20installation.md
which I suppose i could delete and run Linux
Don't run linux, run home assistant OS.
