@Addison you'd be surprised at how well Alpine can work for people who run minimalist setups. See for instance https://drewdevault.com/2021/05/06/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.html


That said I personally prefer NixOS both for configuration versioning and for easily rebuilding systems.

Alpine Linux it is... — Well, I moved my main machine to Alpine Linux. I installed XFCE for now, to get a better sense of it. Alpine seems to not automount USB drives, which was something that annoyed me to no end with FreeBSD... Maybe there is a way to do it, as I have a stack of backup drives that I need to work on... I botched the XFCE install a little by screwing around with X a bit, so the login screen flashes for a second and disappears... It's still there and I can log in, but I can't...
