I didn't think I could like @CoMaps any more than I already do, but today I found out that you can easily import GPX routes into the app. Amazing!

If you're looking for an open-source alternative to the you-know-who big-tech mapping apps, it's a great option (and uses OpenStreetMap data).

One full week under the keel running Alpine Linux on my primary workstation. Even set root on a ZFS mirror - simple to setup. First experience with rEFInd as well - I like it.

Sharp and snappy, just like the way I like my cars! Ha!

No new revelations compared to the first few weeks on the test workstation... I'm still tweaking some things for personalization as it happens but all good.

The Alpine repos are full of good stuff and are current/up2date in a practical manner.

The only flatpaks I've had to run are Waterfox, Signal Desktop and messing around with the new CoMaps Linux version (this exists - happy! happy! joy! joy!).

I'm going to migrate my Debian Bookworm servers to Alpine when I get around to the upgrades. I'll keep clients on Debian for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure why I'm so excited about Alpine, it just feels like a breathe of fresh air! Modern and simple. Enjoying it.

You might not want to use google maps outside of north America.
