It was on an 08/ish laptop I wanted to just use for simple dvd watching and such. Had a lot of sound and disc issues. I’m a noob tho so went back to mint.
Same here, I run Mint everywhere I can, and the XFCE edition works especially well in old machines.
Alpine is better suited for servers and especially containers, because the images can be really small. If you got enough RAM, there’s an installation mode that runs on it without writing to disk, pretty cool for systems where you want always to reboot in the same state.
Now I’m curious. What did you try that didn’t work?

Yea I wouldn’t choose a musl/BusyBox distro for my daily driver.
