  • Recently I started experimenting with Alpine Linux. Initially because I wanted something for a Raspberry Pi which had newer packages than Raspberry OS and was quite minimal. Now I also installed it on a spare laptop and set up a desktop environment with the River Compositor mostly just to try it out. Most things I want to do are already working as expected while after boot it uses only 380MB of RAM. So I like how minimal it is, the package management is really nice and stable and it just runs very nicely on this older laptop.

    Ah yeah that’s the main thing I hate about GNOME. If you have the extension installed you can just go to .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and for each extension add 50 to the supported gnome-shell versions list. It actually works perfectly fine on GNOME 50 on my PC with that hack. I really don’t know why GNOME extensions work this way because I’ve never had an extension that didn’t run like normal after doing this.

    This reminds me of when I got a Nintendo DS as a kid with Anno 1701 and you saved the game there was a message like “all previous data will be overwritten, do you want to continue?”. It took me some time until I realised that that is not a bad thing and actually intended.
