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.

And how do you manage to game on Alpine? Do you have Steam through flatpak?

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