I use Migadu but you need your own domain for that and also it is paid.

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine’s package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

That thumbnail is completely ruined by the soyface.

OpenSUSE

inb4 but thats a corporate distro, it is just sponsored by SUSE but is community maintained

I agree that there are not many distros that are both user friendly and not forks of something else, but I don’t see it as an issue, imo there is nothing wrong with forks.

A blog of course.

Yeah, its extremely minimal, but thats part of the appeal for me.

For automounting I just have udev rule for my usb drive, which is ok, but if I had to use a bunch of different drives for whatever reason I’d probably setup polkit.

I only ever used systemd for services and did not use any of the other features. Openrc does that and it works so nothing to handle.

I use seatd and I do not use polkit. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the default login binary does not support PAM so I had to install shadow-login.

I do use flatpak for lutris, web browser and few other things, but I prefer native packages. If the package isn’t in the repos I package it myself, the package format is almost identical to the one Arch has so a lot of times its enough to just edit the dependencies and build.

Alpine Linux

My answers to your questions in order:

• No.
• No workflow.
• I have periodic backups of the entire system, but I do not organize my configs or anything like that.
• I only customize the install on my laptop and it is over time, I do not install different distros on it, just the same install ever since I got it. On any other install I usually use the defaults.

Nečakala som že otvorím lemmy a prvé čo uvidím je post od Slováka, ktorý bol pridaný 5 minút dozadu.

There are VPS services that dont give a fuck about DMCAs and pirated content. You should specifically look for one like that if this is your intent. I do not have any specific provider recommendations but you might find something useful in lowendtalk.

Proof?

I have no complaints about the OS itself and I really like the package manager. The wiki is lacking tho, which is not an issue 99% of the time cause I can still check archwiki, but its something to keep in mind.

Post-install was similar to Arch and fairly straightforward, except for having to set up logind

As far as wayland goes it works the same as on any other distro, nothing Alpine specific that you should look out for.
