Home Assistant core install, Raspberry Pi and Python 3.12 & 3.13

Updated 2025-02-20 !

The best way to start with Home Assistant(HA), and Raspberry Pi(RPi), is off course to use the ”Raspberry Pi imager” and in the menu select "Other specific-purpose OS => Home Assistant and home automation => Home Assistant". This will install the HA operating system.

It works very well and here are the install instructions. 
On the other hand if you want to add HA to a RPi which you already have up and running, without Docker, you need to install something which is called "Home Assistant Core".

Please check the "Remarks" below before you start.

New version for Python 3.13 ! Below info is not updated but just change from 3.12 to 3.13 

Installing Ubuntu 24.04 or 24.10 on an old MacBook Air(2011)

Updated 2025-02-06 !

I have done several posts Blogging about how to keep an old MacBook Air(MBA), mid 2011(A1369), with SSD disk "alive". I have used the fantastic software package OpenCore Legacy patcher to upgrade the Mac to the latest Mac OS. 

A while ago i tested Mac OS Sequoia(15.3), on the mentioned Mac, but I had to admit that it was to much for the 14 year old companion.

I really like the Mac and everything works, after a battery change, so it ended up with installing Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS or if you want the latest scroll down and get Ubuntu 24.10.
