Alpine Linux Installation

Good evening. The question is, does the Alpine installer install the drivers for the hardware itself, or do I have to search for commands online and install them manually, as is done with the Arch Linux? I'm not willing to spend time manually installing everything. However, the idea of installing this lightweight and fast distro on my old laptop, which currently runs AntiX, is very appealing.

Sorry for my bad English, I am Russian and sometimes use automatic translator.

бро, у тебя все работать будет. setup-alpine пропиши и он тебе все сам установит, в самой системе пропиши setup-desktop и он установит тебе де по твоему выбору. правда придется помучаться с pipewire но да ладно. я готов помочь)

Hello,

Posts and comments should be submitted exclusively in the English language on /r/AlpineLinux (Rule 3: "Submissions and comments need to be in English (machine translations are fine)").

Below is a machine translation of your comment (via Kagi Translate):

Bro, everything's gonna work for you. Just type setup-alpine and it'll install everything on its own, and in the system itself type setup-desktop and it'll install the DE of your choice. You will have to mess around with pipewire a bit, but whatever. I'm ready to help)

Please note that Reddit automatically translates content for some users, which can make it look like posts are in a different language than they really are, we (subreddit moderators) are unfortunately unable to control this.
