HASSIOS is a purely container-basednsituation that has limitations by design. It doesn't give you SSH access to the host OS out of the box, but you can change that. If you're not comfortable with containers, just stick with what you're running.
What are you expecting to do "more" of by switching?
@just_another_person I read a little on the HomeAssistant website, and it didn't sound like you could use addons if you installed in Docker.
Sure you can, they just have to be containerized add-ons that don't need host access. Some of those docs were created during the period of time when HASSIOS was a bit new, so a lot of add-ons hadn't been compatible yet. I thinks that's a bygone issue for the most part though.
Check what you use now, then go check their compatibility. As a test you could also backup your current HA, boot liveUSB, import your backup, and see if there are any issues. If there are insurmountable issues, just boot back to your normal setup.
@just_another_person I don't yet have HA installed. I was trying to figure out the best way to do it when I saw that in the docs. Good to know that's not so true anymore.
If you're starting from scratch, then there's no risk. Run it, and if they are issues, switch to Core. Lemon-Squeezy.
