Alpine is musl only; Void has both glibc and musl variants. Void seems more desktop-focussed than Alpine, and (at least as of a year ago) I didn't have a lot of luck with ZFS on Alpine.
- zaarn 9y agoIIRC you can install glibc into Alpine when an application needs it but the packages are all musl.
- _emacsomancer_ 9y agoA glibc chroot still seems to be the recommended method: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs
- BlackLotus89 9y agoHehehe I wrote the original wiki entry (because someone on irc asked for something like that) I think it's still the recommended way for dependency management reasons and missing glibc-packages. If you can get your program running with the alpine glibc you should probably do that
