    Are people using it also as desktop or server OS? I only know that it is popular for docket images.

      I personally use it as a desktop.

      I don’t understand, isn’t what makes it a desktop or a server what you want to do with it? Because it has just enough apps and utilities for me to work with it.

        Alpine was created for the sole purpose of pissing off Stallman, it doesn’t have any practical use.

        Tips and tricks? I want to install on a chromebook I have, only 16gb mmc so a light distro would be great.

        Yes, it is. I have only never seen it to be used for something else then docker images so far.

    Same same. I don’t really have anything to post about Alpine atm, but I’m always open to a conversation about it. Someone could of course create a new community, but the Linux community on here seems small enough right now that people can just post about Alpine here if they’d like.

      Yes. As long as communities aren’t that large yet I think it is pointless to split so much.

      Just post here.
