Hi,
I tried to search first but I could not find it. What is the best hardware that HA recommends running it? Raspberry PI 5 with NVME? X86 PC? I have a home where I want to use as much as automation as possible and I don't want the hardware to be a bottle neck on the process.
Thank you

I recommend a (U)SFF x86 PC. I also recommend virtualizing HAOS.

i run mine on a 2015 old laptop with linux... around 83 zigbee sensors, 40 automations, 15 wifi esphome multisensor boards and plys, and few thing on esphome bt
hardware was never a bottleneck

Yeah, I run it on a little n100, works great and much more reliable than a pi

the only thing I am not 100% on from Impact's list is the allergy to bare metal... I run mine on bare metal and there are no issues... i see the appeal of vm and precooked images in reducing the entry barrier

i have been running mine happily on a raspberry pi 4b 4GB since it came out. the big bottleneck for any kind of server load on a pi is the sd card. it's not about write speeds, it's about iops and random access. i use a cheap usb3 to sata cable from aliexpress and a 120GB SSD. all problems with pi 4 performance fixed.
i got a noticeable performance bump going from a2 class sd card to a fast usb3 memory stick. and even more going to ssd.

probably the main argument to running HAOS in a vm is that it allows you to get access to the console remotely if something goes wrong, instead of needing to wire up a keyboard and monitor directly to the device.

i have enabled the ssh to port 22222, so if the os boots i can get in. much the same as your virtualization host

I currently run mine on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a SSD instead of the MicroSD. Haven't had many issues with it.
