Its possible to install glibc on Alpine. https://hatchjs.com/alpine-linux-install-full-glibc/

The Alpine simplicity is attractive, but I failed to install it while keeping my /home partition. Setting this manually is beyond my skills.

It can fits as a desktop wallpaper.

Personnaly I don’t need to manipulate windows with Bspwm. How they spawn is fine for me.

I don’t use i3 because windows spawns in such a layout that force to use shortcuts for changing the layout. Bspwm displays everything in nice rectangles.

To start apps you can keep an application menu in your bar, such as Whisker menu, or the KDE bar, while having a tiling window manager, so you can run apps with mouse clicks. And after the spawn you should not need to manipulate them if you use more automatized tiling WM such as Bspwm or Xmonad.

The Gimp Tool Kit !

I’m annoyed by these Gnome centered distros. If I had to choose a single DE for a distro, I 'd choose a flexible one that can run on potatoes, such as Xfce. I suppose Xfce as default is a part of the MX linux popularity.

In the meantime you can give a look to the Servo project. If Servo is clean for you, you can support them.

Is Librewolf already a Firefox without ad companies colonization ?

Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Is it possible to make it working on a today machine ? Even with a virtual machine ? Sorry for my ignorance.

I switched two times. WinXP to Mandriva, because of devastating rootkits. Win8.1 to Mint because of performance decrease.

I like simple default, so it is easier to customize. But If I have to keep the default I would say Garuda.

I don’t use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.

Glibc has extensions that fragment compatibility. If Glibc is replaced by another libc, some apps prints an error, or don’t work. I noticed that on Alpine.

My worst experience was on Linux Void.

The iso has an encryption key problem. I tried the distro one year after, the same problem 😆 . Its the only distro that has that kind of problem. Once the problem is solved thanks to the forum, the shell didn’t switch the language properly, the “-” prints a wierd character, most keys on the that row was wrong. Maybe all the praise for that distro comes from non-french speaking people, so they didn’t saw the problem.

I know, the DE versions of the iso should works nice, but Void is advertised as minimalist, I want my WM. If this is that hard to switch the installation to french language, why Alpine is able to provide a correct installation experience (not easy, but correct) ?

Whats the problem with XFWM ?

I tried I3 but it seems the new window always appears in a vertical slice, maybe some people like that so windows are set manually. I prefer automatic tiling, I use Bspwm for that. It needs two config files but they are simple, no programming is required. Its way to split screen is almost always good. In the rare cases I add a rule in the main config file.

4 month ago is not that bad for such a small project. Eww looks more active, but I don’t have the patience to learn how to create a menu. Its way too DIY for me.

You can use live isos. Some distros, such as Manjaro or Fedora spins, has several isos, one per DE.

Alpine was the most interesting for me. It goes against the tendency of complicating the systems. I have to use Arch because everything can work on that distro.
