Everyone always wants simple beautiful code they can understand, I want boring code, that implements a beautiful UI users can understand.

And if that means calling some black box of horrors mega library, that's fine as long as I don't have to look in the box.

My first approach to embedded was an installer script that configures a stock distro image. Then I moved to a premade CustomPiOs image, but that's a nightmare and adds another large artifact to build and manage and maintain and isn't portable. Now I'm back to the installer script.

Technical merits have nothing to do with the choice really. Nobody else was interested in learning anything about the customized image but they already know basic scripting.

As much as I love high tech, and pretty much always use the megaproject latest hyper neophile stuff if I can.... I like not having to maintain custom stuff even more.
