Alpine Linux does not make the news - Lemmy.world

I tried Alpine for a desktop installation. The package manager has surprisingly decent package set. And the performance is the best I found, for some reason applications starts faster. But I had to stop the experience because websites thats includes widevine didn’t work. Its sad to say, but many softwares relies on non-standard glibc shit. With glibc instead of musl Alpine can be simply the best distro. If musl is not faster that glibc I don’t think glibc will make Alpine slower.

You can use glibc programs in Alpine using containers, chroots, Flatpak, etc.

This wasn’t on Alpine, but I used to run Steam on a musl Void Linux install in a chroot.
