Alpine Linux is by far my favorite distro and I wish it had more support. Not only is musl nice, but it lacks a huge amount of obsolete cruft and the package manager is nice and simple and not over-engineered. It also lacks systemd.
It probably lacks a lot of the "enterprise" cruft in CentOS/RHEL or Debian, but that's a good thing for everyone else.
- fmajid 7y agoI use Alpine as the OS on my home server (it used to be SmartOS/Illumos) and I compile my entire stack myself using my own cross-platform (Solaris/Linux/OS X/FreeBSD/OpenBSD) build system similar to BSD ports. While there are some portability gotchas, by and large it's manageable.
