    Alpine:

    • Rolling release (Alpine Edge) yet stable
    • Extremely lightweight
    • Very customizable
    • After setting it up I find that it works very well
    • Decently sized repo
    • OpenRC rather then SystemD (I prefer the way it handles services)
    • Mwas alt (prob)OP

      I wonder how hard is it to download apps on Glibc-free systems, On Systemd-free systems ik there is Flatpack and stuff , asking this bcs many apps on Linux only work on Glibc.

        I personally haven’t ran into any yet, tbh I have more issues with SystemD dependent apps (Also keep in mind Alpine packages and maintains apps in their repo so they don’t require GLIBs/SystemD)

          Ohh, so only open source apps and closed source apps that work on non glibc/systemd then ig

            I managed to get Steam working with some work, heroic games launcher worked with no extra effort, and everything in the repo is good (Alpine is independent)

      Is that usable for regular Joe or enthusiast grade?

        I wouldnt call it enthusiast grade, every day usage is easy but installation can be tough (it gives you a barebones system).
