i’ve been running alpine on two thinkpads for almost six months. it’s fantastic. was previously on arch, and ubuntu before that. i had no idea alpine ships setup-* scripts. there are so many of them and they are so good! postmarketos is alpine, so you can run the same distro on mobile and desktop. they support arm64, unlike arch. they ship ec2 amis, and rewrote cloudinit and made it way better. it feels like alpine minimalism just enables them to get a much more polished setup. things like solid setup scripts or cloud init scripts. they are good, because obviously they should be.
