Home Assistant: the self-hosted smart home hub that talks to everything
If you have smart home devices scattered across different ecosystems (Amazon, Google, Apple, random no-name WiFi bulbs), the incompatibility eventually gets annoying enough to do something about it.
Home Assistant is the open source home automation platform that runs on your own hardware — a Pi, an old NUC, whatever you have sitting around. It integrates with 3000+ devices and services and gives you one unified interface instead of four separate apps.
What I actually care about:

why i went back to windows
if anyone ever wonders why some people still use windows EVEN if they do not want to here is what happened to me.
I am a game developer using only free and open source tools and it is only natural for me to be <wanting> and rooting to, use open source operating systems.
The game I am developing was running at 58-60 FPS low resolution and ~30 fps high resolution on windows. I installed linux mint then fedora kde then fedora xfce then linux mx. Same results, the frames halved. I was getting max 30 fps on low resolution and 12-15 fps at high resolution. Same tests because the project maintained same parameters.
Some will say to optimize the game, the game is already optimized. The problem is not the game, is the laptop I am using, i
