Feedback

I have an Intel laptop I want to run Home Assistant OS. I'm no newcomer to Linux and distro-hopping. But it's been incredibly frustrating finding the disk image. After looking for a while, finding myself on the generic x86-64 page, it tells me to use the disk image but doesn't link it or tell me where to get it. Finally looking in roundabout ways for it, I found the Home Assistant OS Release 6 via external search, but it was old. So I found the Home Assistant OS Release 8 via the home page, and again no link to anything useful. Then realized the image at the top was apparently a link to the GitHub repo with no indication of being such. But there's no readme, just a list of changes. I'm assuming everything I need is in the source code .tar.gz but at the moment I'm too frustrated to think straight and will have to come back to this later.

This has been, no joke, more painful than installing Arch

I realize afterwards that I let too much of my frustration through here. Maybe this will turn into my first open source contribution XD
