It’s nice, low effort now it’s setup! Just messing around with firewalling :)

It’s a nice and clean Linux distro, Alpine is great for being lean and you can get around any portential glibc problems with flatpak/chroots/virtualisation if you don’t mind, also aports (the build system) it’s pretty straightforward. the package repositories are decent and flatpak does the rest I find.
I’ve run it as a general purpose fix-it drive for a long time but it’s good for servers or routers, or decent enough on a laptop/desktop, it’s more of a hands-on approach than most other distros so I’ll find myself on the Gentoo or Arch wikis a bit of the time.
It has it’s quirks like any distro but it’s very nice once you’re used to how it works, it generally avoids complexity. I like it in that regard.
Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.
All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor/gtk themes to /usr/share as I compiled them but I’m sure they’d work in /home.
I’ve been stuck to it for years, used to it at this point!
Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)

Yep I was trying to remember, it’s been a long time since I used it!
LXD is to LXC what Podman or Distrobox is to Docker (if I’m correct, it’s just a convenient wrapper that does extra bits/builds on LXC)
AKA compiling them yourself or baking them into the kernels or using DKMS :)
Pretty much nailed it
I agree, some of us just want a simple init system that isn’t millions of lines of code and to be able to pick our own parts to use in a UNIXY fashion - If it ain’t broke why fix it…
For example on my alpine system I have acpid, crond, dhcpcd, openntpd, seatd, udev, wpa_supplicant as services that systemd would replace.
This doesn’t sound like a non-systemd problem, more likely something related to Void.
Yep alpine is lovely. Minimal, no bullshit.
Systemd is an init system (the first process that manages/runs everything else). However it does far more than a traditional init system; arguably it’s tendrils are all over mainstream Linux now.
GLIBC is the GNU Project’s implementation of the C standard library. It is a wrapper around system calls of the kernel for application use.
more akin to BSD with the introduction of system
One difference: BSDs are coherent.
Systemd is bloat, was somewhat forced upon Linux, took over critical projects (udev et al), huge attack surface, shit tooling (binary logs), not really modular in the sense of portability, not just an init system (behemoth).
Nope, I usually pay the Mullvad tax :)
