This excellent video and link to the configs by @justaguylinux has me wanting to install and explore i3wm:

I have this notion of configuring my Xorg desktop on Alpine Linux to have a single desktop with all windows as tabs, and i3wm has a built-in tab mode.
@yianiris @jmcunx @jbz using zfs encrypted roots on many Alpine and Void installs. Zero issues. #alpinelinux makes it even simpler in zfs being a seperate package pre-compiled against a kernel rather than dkms (no sure why other distros do not do this).
#netbsd supports zfs but native encrypted root is not yet an option.
My Alpine install is complete.
Surprising absolutely no one that has known me for a while, I am running dwm.
What an amazing distro. I think I am probably going to move to Alpine full-time.

Finally got my VM hosts updated to the latest AlpineLinux release. Browsing Ceph RBD pools is still broken in `libvirt`… no idea why but one RBD pool works fine, the other refuses to start. (They are configured identically apart from the name of the pool being connected to.)
It tells me "An error occurred, but the cause is unknown". No logs. I asked on `libvirt-users` mailing list: no answer. It's a mystery.
But… if I hand-configure the XML (usually by taking the `dumpxml` output from another VM and hand-editing), I can link to RBD volumes just fine and it just works, so whatever.
The other gotcha was VM types becoming unavailable. A lot of my VMs were `pc-i440fx-3.1` or `pc-q35-3.1` machines. Moving from `pc-q35-3.1` to `pc-q35-10.1` was painless, but going from i440FX-based VMs to Q35 took a bit of hand-massaging the XML: remove PCI IDE/SATA/USB controllers then change the `pci-root` node to `pcie-root`.
Everything is now running `pc-q35-10.1`; so that should kick that can far down the road.
New hardware (GMKtec K11 Mini PC) and a new install of Alpine Linux. On this setup, I'm going with the (rolling) Edge repositories + testing.
Yesterday I migrated my #alpinelinux install to #zfs and #zfsbootmenu. It was not too difficult even though I've done it from partition to partition on one drive. Although I wouldn't recommend it to a non techy person.
I even managed to compile zfs modules for my custom LLVM compiled kernels.
So not a big deal actually.
Looking at you @vermaden 
@mwl you do but that applies to a lot of #alpinelinux. Not for newbies but it is reliable and fast even through updates. Run multiple machines with native ZFS encrypted roots.
Chimera (BSD userland) and Postmarket (mobile devices) both use Alpine as a base but never used them and not sure how integrated ZFS in them.
Once again #KDE tries to get rid of minority distributions. This time by replacing SDDM with PLM (plasma login manager). PLM depends on systemd.
So sooner or later no KDE for #alpineLinux, #FreeBSD, #Gentoo, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #Slackware, #VoidLinux, etc.
For #BLFS it is no problem as BLFS itself recently discontinued its non-systemd version.
