At last, a goodbye to Python 2. Otherwise, I'm excited to see the increased support for desktop use of Alpine with each release. This time, a new setup script is included to help set up a desktop environment automatically. For some reason, it's very satisfying to boot such a small distribution on a big screen.


For anyone who is curious, this already includes the container image on the Docker Hub.

Always happy to see an upgrade to one of my favorite distros.

Interesting to see that 'sudo' appears to be soft deprecated in favor of 'doas'.

Also very interested in the setup-desktop script mentioned.
