Currently using Oh My Pi (https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi) and appreciate the batteries included approach.

From my limited time using pure Pi, I found quite a few of the plugins lacking and had no desire to upgrade/fix and maintain them myself. I know others feel differently though.

I like the idea of keep Pi minimal but having “official”, high quality optional plugins to make it more usable.

As AI outsider, can you speak to how you draw the line here? Like doesn't the agential blahblah make upgrades/maintenance trivial?

When do you get it to make you the thing versus choosing to vendor something out like back in the day?
