Spent the evening migrating my laptop (XPS 9700) from Debian to Alpine.
<gasp - horror - shudder>
Installing is a different experience compared to generic PC hardware. There was a number of things I had to chase manually like wifi, audio, Dell firmware support but it wasn't a big deal. Debian takes care of those things for you on the laptop during install (non-free install ofc).
The Alpine wiki is quite good. Everything I needed to get things going was there.
Network Manager is still a pain in the a55 but on a laptop I'll deal with it. Ha.

I've got this week's progress update live. It covers highlights from the creation of my "new" writing PC, the wordcounts I was able to get out of it, and the rough plan for the next week. https://jallbarret.writeas.com/first-week-of-january-2026

Spent the evening messing around with Alpine Linux (refresher) and Chimera Linux (all new to me) as full Plasma desktops.
Not sure which one I like better but they both kinda impress upon me that perhaps 'mainstream' Linux is headed in the wrong direction. They both feel lean, mean, and up to date compared to other 'normal' distros.
All the main productivity apps are available via flatpak so being musl based doesn't matter except for Nvidia drivers and perhaps dev work that explicitly requires GNU libs/tools.
Intrigued by the BSD userland on Chimera. Does this make Chimera a 'real UNIX'? Ha! A UNIX Kernel required technically I guess.
Chimera's repos aren't as full as Alpine's but flatpak makes it not matter. Mind you, this was before realizing there was a 'user repo' that could be configured. Similar to AUR in a way...perhaps?
Dinit is cool, seems very similar to Alpine's initrc.
Will have to do some experiments on physical hardware (zfs).

This has been a fun mini-project. I'll improve the cabling, but the solution is complete. A PoE-powered ESP32 device that monitors the UART consoles of a #RaspberryPi 5 and an #odroid H4 Ultra. It also controls two relays (power switches) to the same two devices. Even cooler, I can use ttyd/xterm.js as a front-end on a socat TCP stream, which means I can access the consoles via the web. It’s like a DIY BMC. The two computers are running #alpinelinux and #FreeBSD. Both work without issue.

With a few cheap parts, you can control the power state of an ODROID H4 entirely remotely. As a bonus, you'll be able to say “optocoupler" at parties and sound cool.

If I choose the #amdgpu driver, the system crashes at boot.
If I choose the #radeon driver, the system starts and runs almost normally (a few glitches may appear before displaying an image) as long as I don't play a video (then it crashes more or less severely).

CW: mobile-config-firefox, happiness, alpine
Few MRs have made as happy as this one:

Not having to care about bad old 128 anymore is sooo good 😀️🥳️

Got Alpine BusyBox/Linux working. It's very fast on my poor hardware. Sway and Waybar are using almost completely default settings.

Our local mirror[1] for OSS projects (#Debian, #AlpineLinux, … projects we use at AS15372 in a larger scale) had an outage this morning. The CEPH pool max-bytes quota of 10TiB was reached faster than expected. 🥴 The limit has been raised. 👍
The mirror is located in #Dresden and the IP prefixes it uses IP addresses from is also announced to @dd_ix.

🐱 Yet another step to package my camera-related stuff in @[email protected] / @[email protected].
Now it's cosmetic change to #wireplumber package that enables gobject introspection.
Now I can build #pipetap without hardcoded bindings

So I've been experiencing occasional #crashing on #AlpineLinux with an #AMD 6800H #APU #Hardware using #amdgpu. I've been trying to determine what the cause may be. The system will regularly freeze at the disk decryption prompt when booting, sometimes before that, or after when in #Wayland #Sway. I just tried upgrading to #libdrm 2.4.124 on alpine edge. Would appreciate any ideas that may be causing this behavior. Should I see if it's possible to get a newer kernel?

@landley @DavittoKun Again: Simplicity on it's own has value!
https://infosec.space/@OS1337/111795968531113076I don't expect OS/1337 to become the major #Desktop OS or even put a significant dent into #Yocto #Linux's marketshare.
But I'd rather want to see it as something that drives #CriticalInfrastructure like #MedicalIT, #PowerGrids and #PLCs instead of cringeworthy #Bloatware like #Windows that is laced with so much #Govware that we can truly say #Microsoft is incompetent...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGmtP5Lg_t0#t=6m20sIn the end, it may end up like #AlpineLinux but to be fair I want to basically find a sweet spot between #mkroot-level simplicity and most modern distros with some basic quality-of-life additions that one can choose (or not!) to use.
Like a really basic paxkage manager that takes away the hassle of "build it yourself" if one trusts me...
https://github.com/OS-1337/spmOFC that could be self-hosted internally...

I kind of wish there was a version of Alpine that was libc based - just for desktop NVIDIA support really.

I already learned last week that #homebrew and @alpinelinux already updated to syslog-ng 4.8.1, however now I checked #replogy at: https://repology.org/project/syslog-ng/versions and found up-to-date #syslog_ng in distros I have never heard about :-) Time to check #KaOS and #openmamba

The #wolfi GNU/Linux distribution is going on tour, with my good friend @eddiezane showing it off and teaching people how to use our modern take on GNU/Linux, which takes concepts from #AlpineLinux, Embedded Linux and traditional GNU/Linux distributions to create a compelling and composable distribution for the cloud-native world.

Hold on... #AlpineLinux's update-kernel tool actually has an option for adding kernel modules and firmware!
```
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mkdir /mnt/boot
TMPDIR=/mnt/tmp/ update-kernel -a aarch64 -f rpi -p zfs-rpi -M /mnt/boot
```Copy the files in /mnt/boot over to the root of the SD card. Job done! I just need to pay attention at the next Alpine update to make sure I rebuild the kernel at the same time.
This should really be in the wiki.

@davetron5000 BTW, the code I posted before had errors. Here's a one-liner that actually works with #Docker and #AlpineLinux.
```bash
docker run --privileged -i --rm alpine:latest \
<<< 'apk update && apk add usbutils && lsusb -t && exit'
```The redirection operator is a #bashism that won't work as-is in #Bourne or #FishShell. However, I validated that it works as intended under Bash, and thus probably under #Z-Shell. Hope it's useful to you, or to anyone running #TrueNAS Scale.

So after talking with @sakkara & @sotolf I decided I wanted to try out :void: #VoidLinux and after playing with :alpine: #AlpineLinux I discovered #LuminaDesktop which I quite liked in its minimalism. Then I discovered #ProjectTrident actually combined Void+Lumina+ZFS (and I personally believe everyone should use a COW filesystem). But its latest release is from Valentine's Day 2020! Could I install it and update it to use the more updated packages from Void? :thaenkin: #HelpWanted #Linux

Sometimes living on the #edge can be a bit stressful. I thought I was going to need to do a fresh install of #AlpineLinux due to some edge updates borking the system.
Luckily for me the few issues I was running into were relatively easy to fix:
1) A time skew error fixed itself.
2) #Flatpaks refused to update do to some issues with finding the hub. All it required was uninstalling and reinstalling Flatpak and now it works; I didnt have to touch any flatpak apps either!
All in all, nothing too hard.
Yay me for living dangerously and lazily 😅 -

#Kuroko is now in the edge/community repo on #AlpineLinux and #postmarketOS officially!
I’m the sole maintainer of Kuroko on #Alpine!
Here’s me installing it on a fresh copy of #pmOS on a #Pixel3A to celebrate!
Thanks the person on my original #Mastodon post for convincing me and the Alpine #aports team.
I did #Fedi! The joke is now reality. Please #boost as this is a big achievement for me!!!
