As pmOS folks (and anyone running alpine on their desktop or server) will happily tell you, size reduction is not a goal only relevant to container runtimes.

- MichaelMoser123 4y agotoday i learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostmarketOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostmarketOS - "an operating system primarily for smartphones, based on the Alpine Linux distribution" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostmarketOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostmarketOS "Alpine Linux was chosen as the base distribution due to its low storage requirements, making it more suitable for older devices. Excluding the kernel, a base installation takes up approximately 6 MB" i guess that would also make a more secure phone, one that is less likely to call it's mother ship. thanks for the tip!
- MichaelMoser123 4y agotoo bad that device support isn't stellar :-( https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
