  • I have been using Alpine as my main desktop system

    If you need gaming, or you have a Nvidia GPU, your idea is dead on the water, not having glibc makes nvidia drivers impossible to use.

    But that aside, the desktop feels snappy, the system is extremely small so knowing exactly how everything is running/working, and OpenRC is a breath of fresh air compared to the ‘do everything’ SystemD. All pieces of Alpine just does one thing, which makes things really predictable.

    Albeit, my path isn’t without hiccups, for example X11 made suspend when the lid closes outright crash X11, so was forced into Wayland And Pipewire, I have to restart it whenever I switch from the computer speakers to headphones or vice-versa

    You’ll find some small bugs and small issues, but if you really want a more spartan and simplistic way to handle your linux box, it is amazing

    Also, APK is the best package manager, I felt in love with it








  • When realistically do you make use of 100% of what the PS5 has to offer? Specially shit like Raytracing? Or can realistically feel the difference between DDR4 and DDR5?

    Unless you’re some sort of developer that works on low level (or particularly lazy game developer that has to squeeze every bit of graphics to hide the fact the gameplay sucks), you won’t see the difference between any FPS above 240(even 120 depending on your monitor)

    Not to mention, remove gaming from the list, what else can you do with the PS5? Because boy, the list for what you can do with a computer without gaming is absolute huge
