You can install glibc on Alpine but it's a shitemare from start to finish. Better to stick to Arch for a very similar user experience.

- schemescape 3y agoYeah, I've found just using Nix on Alpine for glibc-dependent stuff to be the simplest workflow. Note that, in my case, I'm not using Alpine for the "user experience", but solely because it is the most lightweight distribution (important when running on a machine with 1 GB of RAM). I was able to set up a C programming environment on a Raspberry Pi in only 300 MB... of disk space, not RAM! :)
