Hey maybe I didn't get ya but by home assistant core main driver, do you mean the linux application of this as in cli / terminal right?

what are your thoughts on something like https://userland.tech/download/ which can just straight up boot up into any distro that you might need (you can use something like alpine/debian/archlinux)

they are open source too btw

and also I tried and if you have a server running, then there are ways to make it so that those web servers can be accessed from outside out of the box as well so there is nothing to worry about that either.

It doesn't require root either, I run it on an unrooted phone!
