I am using Home Assistant Core, and want to start using Matter. I see that running the Matter server alongside Core is unsupported. What is my easiest path forward? I don't mind spending some money.

Install HAOS bare metal or in a vm and you are good to go.

If you do not have any hardware, buy a thin client or a Home Assistant Yellow.
