I was probably one of the only people on earth running Home Assistant completely on a Windows 10 VM at one point in time.  It was not an easy process getting it all working there since I was very non-standard, but it worked (at least for a while).  

A few years ago I threw in the towel and moved to the Home Assistant OS (which is basically a custom Linux built just for this use case).  Things work way easier for me now and I am happy I switched.  Not because I like one OS over the OS, but more because some apps are written for certain platforms.  I use what makes the most sense for the particular app.

That is how I ended up running so many different operating systems in my ESXi environment.
