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.

    Is alpine good for installing on a machine and using it as a daily driver?

      I use it as my daily driver on both my laptop and desktop, and am dogfooding my own KDE Plasma packages.

          Using my own packages so I see if they work, find bugs so I can fix them, etc. Not using the packages you maintain makes it a lot harder to make sure they work properly :winking face:

        It’s not necessarily focussed on desktop usage, but it’s a general purpose distro; it isn’t focused on server and embedded either. I use it perfectly fine as my daily driver together with the KDE Plasma packages I maintain myself.
