    Wait, Alpine as a daily driver? How is it treating you? Any apparent differences?

    How much of time did you spend on your setup? Love it BTW.

      Treating me very well so far, very lightweight since it’s not using gnu coreutils or systemd. As for the setup they have a very well-put-together installer script just boot, log into root, type setup-alpine and follow the steps on screen, I think they also have a setup script for a bunch of desktop environments but I chose to install mine manually, although this was still very easy because of the surprisingly good documentation especially the wiki with many entries explaining step by step how to install different desktop environments, this combined with the verrryyy fast package manager makes for a great experience even on the desktop. :)
