# Home Assistant Operating System
Home Assistant Operating System (formerly HassOS) is a Linux based operating system optimized to host [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io) and its [Add-ons](https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/).
Home Assistant Operating System (formerly HassOS) is a Linux based operating system optimized to host [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io) and its [Apps](https://www.home-assistant.io/apps/).
Home Assistant Operating System uses Docker as its container engine. By default it deploys the Home Assistant Supervisor as a container. Home Assistant Supervisor in turn uses the Docker container engine to control Home Assistant Core and Add-Ons in separate containers. Home Assistant Operating System is **not** based on a regular Linux distribution like Ubuntu. It is built using [Buildroot](https://buildroot.org/) and it is optimized to run Home Assistant. It targets single board compute (SBC) devices like the Raspberry Pi or ODROID but also supports x86-64 systems with UEFI.
