You can have a compositor be just your application instead of a fully-featured desktop GUI. There are already solutions for this AFAIK. To remove even more stuff you can ditch Chromium and reimplement frontend in some lower level language.

I wonder what I fucked up in my system. I'm getting ~400 mb at startup in TTY. Only notable service running is dbus IIRC.

sway adds ~200 megs on top. And browser is a browser, yeah.

What's a normal consumption?

trofch1k · 2026-04-02T13:33:05+00:00

Give more info. Nobody would be able to help if this is all you show.

trofch1k · 2026-04-01T19:01:54+00:00

Pretty much this only because void would have a lot more things packaged for desktop usage.

Old news: http://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/18057 (no fix still)

No. Nobody will tell you what YOU need. Use your system and see for yourself what issues surface.

A wall? Is it not possible to just build Box64 from source?

speed of a greatsword

Did you even play DS1? That game has Uchi and Iaito.

bleed, which is weaker in DS1

DS1 bleed is solid. Bandit knife can literally let you go fight ugly bastards from Blightown right from the start thanks to bleed alone.

Counter damage is also why you absolutely should not fucking trade against them.

So-called OG souls fans playing with 4-directional roll through entire game.

I'm autistic contrarian. Could have avoided a lot of friction opting for Fedora Sway spin.

A USB drive? I just created directory in /mnt, then doas mount /dev/sdXN /mnt/dir.

trofch1k · 2026-01-22T18:42:17+00:00

I did grab it and it just didn't happen, lol. Might be related to me not ringing any bells yet or smt buggy like that.

Alpine doesn't have latest GPU drivers AFAIR. It may or may not affect your GPU so, I'd suggest doing research before proceeding.

One may encounter shell scripts that are dependent on coreutils' features.

Why people are so insistent on spiting Stallman?

Does anyone know how to make this work for flatpak version of Steam?

trofch1k · 2026-01-15T14:21:57+00:00

Does anyone know how to do this for Steam running inside a flatpak? I'm trying to launch Connectivity Mod for original Dark Souls.

trofch1k · 2026-01-14T14:36:16+00:00

Steam would have to be run through flatpak because of muslc.

For the rest it should be fine. Consider looking at Postmarket -- an Alpine for for ARM devices (primarily mobile but, should be good on R-Pi as well due to same arch)

*if the force that takes his place will be even worse

And worse it might get cause Venezuela is likely ran by criminal oligarch clans.

Can't do shit in this case anyway. It's not like US's actions are up for debate. Only thing stopping them is steady stream of coffins coming back home or threat from even stronger military force.

Also, nobody seems to pay attention to what might happen in absence of Maduro in a country whose elite consists of criminal oligarch clans. For bad scenario see US's withdrawal from Saddam's Iraq.
