Like the article notes, the Alpine Linux package manager (apk) is refreshingly fast.
It's odd that Alpine lets you install e.g. "emacs-nox" on an IoT device connected via crappy LTE, on the other side of the world, faster than you can install it on your local Ubuntu dev machine, with like 100-1000x more network bandwidth, 10-100x more CPU and 100-1000x faster local storage.
