    I can appreciate that about Debian. Common tools and stability can be both convinient and reliable. Learning linux is already overwhelming with choices.

    Even though I use Alpine for all my Pi boards and laptop, I keep a live usb partition of Linux Mint Debian Edition as my emergency backup. It just works.

      I went with Arch Linux on ARM for a minimal approach - did you try that?

      Genuninely interested in your experience of Alpine Linux as I’d not considered it on a Pi (only VMs so far…)
