# Home Assistant Operating-System
Hass.io OS based on [buildroot](https://buildroot.org/). It's a hypervisor for Docker and supports various kind of IoT hardware. It is also available as virtual appliance. The whole system is optimized for embedded system and security. You can update the system simple with OTA updates or offline updates.
# Home Assistant Operating system
This is a embedded Linux which work different as a normal Linux distribution. The system is designed to run with less as possible I/O and full optimized for what is needed to be.
