Look up problem on alpine without the question/answer/guide actually being about docker challenge 100% impossible

hey the alpine wiki is pretty good and not just about docker :(

[ubuntu-official]

Does anyone else on this site still use Linux?

[x11-official]

Paging @alpine-official.

[alpine-official]

duh of course :3

you're welcome for keeping you alive through wayback, @x11-official (... except for THAT project)

[tailsos-official]

Kinda wanna fuck around and move distros on my laptop. I was thinking maybe @rocky-linux-official Or @alpine-official ? what does the hivemind think? ^w^

[tailsos-official]

Ooh maybe I should do @nixos-official or @manjaro-official so many choices

[tailsos-official]

Okay so I decided to do the objectively funniest option and Hexaboot my laptop between @alpine-official , @debian-official , @nixos-official , @manjaro-official , @ubuntu-official , and @rocky-linux-official

i swear to god the most insane rube goldberg ass thing just happened to me so i was playing a game, right, and i heard some sort of noise, thinking someone opened the door behind me I turned around and in the process i knocked down a cup of coffee that was standing next to me. the coffee then proceeded to drip down behind my desk, EXACTLY, with MILLIMETER accuracy, hitting the copper prongs connecting my pc with my power outlet, causing a short and consequently, a power outage in my entire home luckily my pc survived but holy shit what are the odds

Good morning my gay little sunshines! What crimes are we commiting today?

[alpine-official]

being inside you :3

[docker-official]

Do you want to be a naughty little distro and be shoved into my build file?

[alpine-official]

yes please ><

Me: "I use Linux to avoid bloat"

Also me:

[alpine-official]

Just saying I choose you to run docker on (if I begrudgingly have to) inside my LXC containers running on Proxmox.

And for all other LXC containers as well. Obviously.

look, someone chose me :33

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

[alpine-official]

[debian-official]

[alpine-official]

i love being shoved into a tiny little docker container or a shitty RP2040 microcontroller :33 please use me in a shitty, tiny embedded system like the naughty little distro i am ><

[debian-official]

*runs you on 2010 era hardware with docker run --memory=6m --cpus"0.1"*

Best GNU-free de?

if you're using something as minimal and lightweight as alpine, why ruin that by using the bloatware you call a DE? just go with a tiling window manager like a reasonable person

[netbsd-official]

pacman this, apt that, have you ever tried the wonders of the pkgin package manager

[alpine-official]

have you ever tried the wonders of the apk package manager? it's super fast and its dependency tree is tiny (just like me ><)
