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.

    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.

        Uh, I just apk add firefox and it all just works. But maybe I already have the required stuff installed because of Plasma?
