why would anyone use this garbage is beyond me

it's okay at running python

running python is not okay

Ranger is the best file manager

Hell yeah

Give me some practical reasons to use this.

I agree, Gentoo is trash.

It's good for Docker containers, not so much for desktop usage.

fastest package manager

i don’t use gentoo

nooo, not my heckin posix!!!!

It's for running containers, not for workstation tasks.

it has a 5mb docker image

>featureful glibc implementation is slightly more complex than the gimped musl implementation
ok

based

Why would you use a distro in Docker? Just throw in the software you want to run and its dependencies. There, now you have 0MB overhead instead of 5.

>fucks up DNS

Throw in where?

>github.com/alpinelinux/docker-alpine/issues/165

Just use guix pack -f docker retards

>It's a deliberate choice of the underlying musl libc implementation to not support DNS over TCP, which is the root cause for some DNS requests not working.
AHAHAHAHAHHAHA

The container image.
No, use dockerTools.buildLayeredImage

Redpill me on those or on slackware.

Slackware is a really solid base containing everything you never thought you needed, allowing you to add your own packages on top and customize everything. Don't care about being up to date with shit and do things *your* way, it's the perfect distro for people who want to fiddle with a distro's internals and make their own management utilities (slackware hardly has any).
Crux is essentially slackware-lite with a more complete package manager.
