Alpine for the rescue. Seriously, there must be something super broken with Linux if this article exists.


It's not Linux that's broken, it's arrogant developers of system daemons that are broken.


Alpine is definitely the most sane distro at the moment. I just can't recommend it to my friends because I find myself having to compile anything that isn't super common, and of course nothing that needs glibc works (which, is acceptable to me because I do prefer the smaller libc but some people might really dislike it.)

Yes well, that's what happens when package managers, with their dependence on maintainers and whatnot, are your culturally lauded software distribution method.


Not Linux, mostly systemd.


systemd :')
