@bajax @lina you should roll alpine

@bajax @lina or, you shoulda tried it out somewhere first

@pwm @lina it's a hobbyist system not a prod server. I didn't take it that seriously back then lol.

@pwm @lina again what does alpine get me that minimal debian doesn't?

@bajax @lina smaller memory footprint and openrc.
I love openrc to death

@bajax @lina I also enjoy apk as opposed to apt and dpkg.
You can do fun stuff with it

@pwm @lina yeah true my gentoo had openrc

@pwm @lina like why do I want musl? static linking? aiyaa if I wanted that kind useless hacker cred I'd just install gentoo. and I have before lol

@bajax @lina the system is simply more minimal and justwerks (without going full gentoo autism). The only retard touching my system is me.

@pwm @bajax @lina Gentoo is NOT autistic, shit is Debian with extra steps

@syzygy @bajax @lina the extra steps being autism

@pwm @bajax @lina Yeah like DSM-5 autism, not real autism

@syzygy @bajax @lina this only strengthens my point

@pwm @syzygy @lina OK so... if I want say, bleeding edge for some feature I need for some major package, can I do that pretty easily with apk?

nevermind I'm thinking it's time to just start installing shit I need bleeding edge stuff for via source dists

@bajax @syzygy @lina yeah you can. It's not recommended but you can pin particular packages to edge if you want to override or get freaky. I usually keep my repo set to the latest stable (not by name but by version number)

@pwm @syzygy @lina eh. I'll try it in a VM first.

@bajax @syzygy @lina I would go that route if I were you, yeh

@pwm @bajax @syzygy what if it dexterizes your point

@pwm @bajax @lina 😠😠😠

@bajax half a year ago i'd note "well arch is useful if u need recent packages" but no, i compiled openssl 4.x to compile azerothcore on a system that had fucking openssl 1.x, you really dont need the bleeding edge releases
