Hey guys, I want to set up my first Home Assistant System. I am tech-savvy, but I don't particularly want to set up a virtual machine on one of my Windows systems or a Linux box. Therefore, I am considering HA Green, Yellow, or Raspberry PI. Since I have no experience with Raspberry Pi, which of these systems gives me the most compute power, expandability, and capability? However, having said this, if a PC with Windows or Linux or something else is best, then I want to know that also. I also like to do things correctly from the beginning. I am just seeking guidance from the experts with experience. I am in the United States. Thanks

Not a Pi, that's for sure, that's the worst choice
If you're buying new then I'd buy a Green over a Yellow, though I'd recommend a (second hand) small form factor PC (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc) over a Green

Why not a PI? A 5 with NVMe should do the trick, no?

Yes but here's some of my reasons why I don't recommend such devices: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0
