@ncopa aaaah ive been using alpine happily for years because they never broke my system like debian, ubuntu or arch did. I’m scared about this change now

@pancake @ncopa so do a dry run, if it works, nothing is going to break. And if not, it's a great way to open a issue

@fossdd @pancake @ncopa It seems to have been pushed on me through edge? Now with wifi broken, seemingly due to my iwlwifi kernel drivers now not existing on the system no symlink being created to /lib/sbin/firmware.. Presumably pointless as .ucodes didnt survive the upgrade anyway... And the kicker... Cant restore my btrfs snapshot volumes to get working again and onto lts...
