I'm curious: What made you choose Alpine specifically and what were you using before?

[-] CalesDumb@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

I mainly chose Alpine because of my horrible hardware, I only have 4gb of ram and a Haswell Celeron so I wanted something really light while still being usable. As for what I was using before it was Debian but I have jumped around a lot, Arch, Debian, Fedora, Mint, FreeBSD, etc.

Understandable. I also had a weaker PC until recently and love what Linux was able to do with it even though I haven't personally tested Alpine. Your rice is also really beautiful for such a minimal system.
