is it true that Alpine Linux is free of GNU? So basically a pure Linux distro is really possible in the end...

It's a router distro. Suck a dick.
Matthew James
Yes the main reason it's called GNU/Linux is because of glibc and Alpine Linux uses musl libc instead
Jaxon Perez
what about this github.com
Adam Bell
You seem very upset
Alpine is actually one of the best distros for setting up minimalistically easily.
you could easily have a running desktop that weighs less than a gig of storage and less than 200 packages
Xavier Mitchell
Yes. Can you read the website instead do dumb questions?
Thomas Bell
that's because there's less than 200 packages in their repo
Jayden Robinson
It's by far not the first and it does show the limits of what can be done to an extent.
But it's a nice distro as far as what they did. The package manager and APKBUILD format are nice and works. Obviously they learned from Gentoo and others.

> It's a router distro.
No, its not a router distro.
It's a lightweight distro on musl, the primary user base right now is probably using it for containerized / virtualized software for enterprise use.
Wyatt Foster
Yeah, you have to call it Busybox/Linux instead.
Jonathan Walker
It works as desktop quite good.
I had like 150-170 MB of RAM with XFCE, and had no screen tearing (on other distros I couldn't just confix xorg right).
But yeah, it would be much better to use it in embedded stuff.
And I think it has not enough packages available, but it solvable with tarballs and compiling...

>pure Linux distro
No. Linux is a kernel. Alpine is Busybox+Linux.
Jace Gomez
How about you shut the fuck up, neckbeard
Adam Sanders
very rude
Easton Cook
No, it is Alpine BusyLinux
Gabriel Perez
butthurt archbabby detected
Noah Sanders
last time i used alpine i sorta liked it but i hated how it didn't let me manage my partitions
good alternative for when i can't use openbsd, though.
Colton Cooper
i'm guessing they're mad because alpine has +10 million cloud instances where arch has none because it's useless
Luke Sanders
Alpine only has useful packages in its repo.
BusyBox+musl+clang+Linux.

>a pure Linux distro
pure shit distro maybe. enjoy your crappy gnuless system retard.
Jonathan Peterson
wrong. musl's resolver is nonfunctional and fails to function in "real" container deployments that use kubes.
retard.
Robert Clark
Linux is a router OS anyway.
Levi Taylor
it's possible that you might be the biggest retard itt.
congrats
Angel Kelly
No need to be so self-deprecating, Richard.
Nathan Richardson
It's GNU free out of the box.
naturally, you can install coreutils and gcc and the lot if you need 'em, but a standard install doesn't have any GNU-branded software
it's not that bad
but using it as a day-to-day system is retarded with their lame-ass package list and you're gonna end up (trying to) compile everything
