I’m considering getting myself a Thinkpad x230 and installing Alpine on it and perhaps playing some games with it as well. I’ve read that some games may have problems running due to the lack of glibc. So, it would be nice if anyone could share how well Minecraft and Factorio can run on Alpine. Thanks!

Minecraft should work since it’s Java and all the native libraries it uses can be compiled against musl, but I doubt Factorio will (without getting glibc somehow). Non open source gaming on Alpine is not going to be worth it imo and you’re better off with a distro that uses glibc.

Yeah, that’s what I was worried about.
