@q66 > I would avoid having a foundation on Alpine or Chimera since it would be too dense and complicated to deal with
????????????????????????????????
@pj @q66 I think that 4chan crowd misunderstand Alpine’s reasoning for avoiding GNU software in the base system.
the reason this is important is because they view that decision as ideological, while the real rationale for it was more focused on software quality and reliability, as alpine was originally targeted mostly at IoT sector.
@ariadne @pj for chimera the primary reason is being able to compile the core userland with the strongest compiler hardening we have (which makes coreutils, bash, etc fall apart), besides having a userland that is capable enough for users while being lean enough for constrained envs (initramfs etc)
i try to do what i can to turn away ideologically driven crowd because they are annoying and don't think beyond their one "goal" which either kills projects or makes them insufferable to be in
