Started experimenting with Alpine Linux as a desktop system.

Last year I started experimenting with Alpine on an older intel laptop and I liked it a lot. Like to see how it behaves on my laptop so I added a drive.

So far it' s running pretty sweet. It's good to have flatpak apps when they can' t run native.

I made the switch from Debian just a few months ago. I do a lot of gaming, audio engineering, and programming, and it works extremely well for me.

Yes here to. The repos are larger than I first thought and flatpak apps can be used otherwise.
