    What do people use Alpine for? Embedded systems?

    I sometimes see it used for Docker containers, but usually a distroless or “chiseled” container is a better fit and can be even lighter weight.

          lol no, it’s alpine based. basing something on Manjaro would be pretty dumb anyways, might as well go straight off Arch (especially dumb since neither have official ARM support which phones need)

      I used it on my laptop a little while back and it works pretty great. Although the stable software repositories are kind of small (doesn’t even have tcc) which is the reason I switched back to Void. Still, it’s great to see GNU as an operating system component isn’t needed that much anymore in Linux.

        Interesting - I didn’t know it was complete enough to run on a laptop as I’ve only seen it on servers. Good to know!
