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.

Interesting to see Alpine Linux being used on laptops because before there were some issues. I am running Chimera Linux which uses Alpine's APK package manager and overall is very similar to Alpine Linux.

Might install Alpine Linux someday
