Install alpine lignux
Connor Nelson

It's a primarily router/container distro, all docs accumulate to dozens of MBs. No point of having this on few GB storage or duplicated in all container VMs.

alpine is a meme, install LFS if you want the superior comfy linux experience.
Charles Sanchez
Exactly. Same as Debian. Alpine is a distro whose audience is actually affected by size and thus appreciates things like that, unlike the Arch community.
Andrew Anderson
Those distros are pointless with stuff like OpenBSD existing.
Gavin Thomas
Which distros? Arch or Alpine? Because there are a lot more applications for Alpine than just routers, like Docker. Or did that not occur to you?
Lucas Sullivan
Oh yeah, I forgot OpenBSD doesn't do docker... no, wait!
Easton Morales
Yes, a neutered userland and packagebase would be incredibly useful to me.
Angel Mitchell
You mean like Alpine's?

>impossible to upgrade
same process as any distro, you rebuild your packages against the new libc

Alpine is heavily shilled by GNU haters, don't fall for it.
Justin Torres
The eternal chink strikes again!
Ethan Sanchez
what's wrong with GNU hate?
I personally admire what GNU did but the code itself is trash and needs to be left behind.

Is Alpine the hot new meme distro?
Jace Ward
It's for containers mainly - for those you normally don't even need shell.
Isaac Anderson
I just needed to get away from void
Owen Moore
I did too. I switched to antiX, it more or less just werkz but it's got the Debian stink.
James Jackson
never heard of antix
how can I know it's not made by some skids trying to botnet me and steal my anime?
Grayson Stewart
>Debian stink
What exactly do you mean? Just 'cause it's based on Debian?
Wyatt Cruz
It's made by a gay antifa so you're concerns might be valid.
Yeah. I don't like Debian but I'm sick of screwing with my machine all day so I gave up and settled on Stable.
Brody Rivera
Alpine is a minimalist distro intended for containers. Why are you even surprised by any of this?
>no man pages
then download the man pages you need.
you don't need docs for every package you install. You're probably not going to read 90% of them.
>separate -dev packages
This allows you to only spend space on dev libs that you actually need.
I've only ever seen it shilled by systemd haters
>muh chinese companies
they can't get away with violating US law if they're selling products in the US. This is a boogieman to turn people against the GPL.
