 @053f521c I haven't tried Alpine but it looks interesting. It seems more lightweight than Silverblue which probably helps it achieve a lot of the same things even though I don't see anything about immutability.

 @6f55db33 It depends on how you install Alpine Linux. I've mostly used it one systems, virtual machines or docker that only need a lightweight solution.

 @053f521c True, by the time you install a full fat DE on it it's not so lightweight anymore. I'll have to consider it for lightweight servers in the future!

 @6f55db33 Well that depends I suppose on how you install the DE. Yes indeed.

 @053f521c @6f55db33 Alpine Linux for Docker images for the win. They are simple, lightweight and easy to work with. I hadn't tried it really as a full time OS yet though outside of Docker.

 @00e87a18 @6f55db33 I totally agree. I only have on one bare metal system.
