  1. Enjoyed spending the day installing Alpine Linux on an old laptop. Runs very quick even with old hardware, low resources and my familiar Gnome desktop. Had some problems connecting wifi, tailscale etc but more down to my lack of knowledge of Alpine. Generally really happy with the result.

    Why? PostmarketOS (on my OnePlus6) also uses Alpine Linux as a base and I suspect quite a few future linux handhelds might do similar. Understanding the base system important.

  7. 🐧 Oh look, another "revival" #guide for your crusty, geriatric hardware—because nothing screams 2026 like Linux's endless buffet of #distros nobody asked for. 📟 Just in case you didn't know how to search "how to install Debian" for the 47th time, here's a "complete" beginner's guide that makes you wish the search bar had an off switch. 🔍🙄

    Believing the shop managers blaming delivery truck drivers, the supermarket's customers order chips delivered by a "Large Lorry Model" :psyduck:
