The Alpine simplicity is attractive, but I failed to install it while keeping my /home partition. Setting this manually is beyond my skills.
The Gimp Tool Kit !
This is unrealistic. Read everything represents too much work.
I installed Arch on a disk without erasing the /home partition that cames from a previous distro. It saves me some config work, and a bit of disk life expectancy I guess.
I don't use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.
These tentacular megacorporations are a problem. Amazon is OK as a merchant, MS as an OS developer, Google as a search engine... If they do vertical integration the market is corrupted.
This is useful for proprietary software.
Some differences can be explained. Pacman was created after the Debian package manager (I guess that because Debian is older than Arch) . It is justified because Pacman is faster than Apt. But its too much work to replace Apt by Pacman comparing to the benefits.
But in some cases I don't know why. As instance I wonder why a distro, such as Void, created its own package manager instead of using the Alpine one. If Alpine is younger than Void, invert the sentence of course.
The PS3 is not crazy, but has an exotic hardware that optionnally runs Linux.
15 years ago I would have been surprised to hear that Thinkpads are cheap laptops !
How the hell many people installs Void without problems. I tried two times and I always had wierds behaviours that makes me going back to arch.
Its possible to install glibc on Alpine. https://hatchjs.com/alpine-linux-install-full-glibc/
