I have been using linux for about 2 years now and I have enjoyed every second of it. What in your opinion is the best package manager the linux community has ever offered to us? dpkg, apt, yum, pacman, xbps, zypp, nix, guix, portage, 0install and other tons of them that are out there.
I have never tried alpine linux. I have read a lot about nix on their website but I did not get the chance to try it out yet. I will try out soon though. (by soon I mean by the end of this month I have an exam in two weeks lol) Honestly, nix does look very powerful. The atomic upgrades and rollbacks, multiple versions, etc. I doubt I have any irl use for this but I am definitely looking forward in testing it out.
As a dev for postmarketOS and nowadays maintainer for a lot of Alpine packages, you really should. It was a breath of fresh air for me, it’s lightweight, simple, and easy to understand.
what are all the packages needed to get firefox fully working.
i used alpine a for while. i remember there were some additional packages like truetype to view pages correctly. any others?
Uh, I just
apk add firefoxand it all just works. But maybe I already have the required stuff installed because of Plasma?
