I used this script to install Home Assistant years ago and HA has been running rock solid for me ever since. Thank you @whiskerz007 for your work here. I know the script has been out of development for quite some time but it served me well all this time.

I have always assumed that I was running Home Assistant OS with this script. It says Home assistant OS on the system info screen, in the console and updates are made available for Home Assistant OS regularly.

I was at the Home Assistant discord server yesterday and tried to help someone. I mentioned that I was running HA OS in an LXC container. Immediately someone said "you can't run HA OS in an LXC container". At first I was sure that HA OS was what I had running in my LXC container but others began to join the convo jabbing at me as if I was some complete idiot. They insisted I was running HA Supervised and that was very bad, after all only idiots do that I guess

I've installed HA Supervised many years ago and don't recall the outcome being anywhere near what this script accomplishes. I've also installed the official HA OS image on a VM before and recall it being almost the same as what this script accomplishes only more resource intensive.

Will someone please enlighten me as to what flavor of home assistant the end result of this script is. Is it HA Supervised, HA OS, a hybrid? Pardon my if I've wasted your time trying to get answers that may not accomplish anything more than satisfying my curiosity, possibly make me feel like more or less of an idiot. Either way, thanks again

I have similiar understanding and trying prepare myself for HAOS installation inside System Container -> LXC
with some limitation as mentioned in readme of this repo.
However I am also struggling with common opinion across web that it is not recomended to run HAOS in LXC.... for not really know to me reasons.

So I would be appreciated for further discussion about it here.
