Treating me very well so far, very lightweight since it's not using gnu coreutils or systemd. As for the setup they have a very well-put-together installer script just boot, log into root, type setup-alpine and follow the steps on screen, I think they also have a setup script for a bunch of desktop environments but I chose to install mine manually, although this was still very easy because of the surprisingly good documentation especially the wiki with many entries explaining step by step how to install different desktop environments, this combined with the verrryyy fast package manager makes for a great experience even on the desktop. :)
Thanks! Did you get sound working? Was pipewire part of the setup whilst installing Gnome?
I'm planning to use Void for my desktop and Alpine for my servers. Thanks!
Yes sound is working perfectly once you install pipewire you just add /usr/libexec/pipewire-launcher to your auto start for whatever de or wm you are using
Thank you!
