This might be the dumbest stuff anyone has asked here, but has anyone tried running Alpine as a desktop base OS? Seems pretty well stocked when it comes to the repo, and it’s light asf.
Thoughts?
I almost feel bad that I haven’t. I’ve used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I’ve been having fun with NixOS.
I wanna get into Nix but I keep bouncing off the documentation every time I try to study it
I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.
The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.
Makes sense; one of the big things about it that interests me is the dockerfile generation. Although, I should probably get a better understanding of dockerfiles themselves before jumping into that; I have a habit of forgetting the order of carts and horses
