   Yesterday, on an impulse, I bought a Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2, so today I'm trying to make it work on kiosk mode, with a Home Assistant control dashboard.

   It's a mess. I really wish there was an easy way to make this work, but there isn't one I could find. Too much manual configuration, trial and error, and frustration.

   I don't even know if I'm gonna publish everything I'm doing because it's UGLY, and makes it a very niche thing only for uber nerds. Totally not user friendly.

   Rant mode off.

     Okay, it seems like FullPageOS kind of nearly fixed my issues with setting up a Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 in kiosk mode. It's very opinionated, and need a few tweaks, but it's "less bad" than setting up from scratch. Still need to play around with it more to have a final opinion.

     Now, here's the biggest advantage of that option: it's built buy @guysoft, the same person who builds OctoPi. So, even though right now it seems to be in a bad/broken development cycle, it's still an interesting project to keep an eye on.

     I hope to put time to fix it all. I had very little time recently and just managed finally to get an OctoPi release out. FullPageOS is next. Also help fixing it would be appropriated!
     Not sure what you mean by "opinionated"? You mean it has certain ways to do things?

     @guysoft
     It's opinionated in the sense that some configuration options are very "strict" and require some workaround to change. I do intend to provide some feedback once I'm done testing it.

     You're doing a great job, for sure, and that's what made me interested! Thank you!

     @badnetmask kioMode has been working great for me. Even has MQTT controls and status support

     wow! This is not yet "the perfect experience" that I am looking for, but certainly it's a very interesting project.

     I got it working on stand-alone mode first. Now I need to setup MQTT on my HASS (not using it currently) to see how that remote control thingy works.

     Thanks!
