Why fork alpine if you'll add systemd to it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

because it's a tiny system to get up and running, it's especially invaluable for systems like mobile phones because the disk space varies a lot and some of them are really restrictive in that regard (i don't know how mobian does it).

the thing is, this was supposed get everything simpler than openrc. the way i percieve it, that's not the case.

i'm not using plasmo or gnome/phosh, i use sxmo, so it won't affect me that much, but i think this effort might be fruitless at the end. i really really hope i'm wrong, because i love pmos (and sxmo).
