What are your tips for faster boots? My system seems to hang a bit at POST until it boots into Mint. Right after post I’ll get a blinking cursor for about a full minute until it boots in. All ssd, so I know it’s something I must have done wrong. It’s also a 14 year old processor (amd fx be 8 core, rx580), but win### booted faster on it.
Alpine? How does it do? I’ve heard it’s pretty good for containers but at the same time some reasonable complaints for end-user workflows such as “it doesn’t even have locales”.
It has its quirks. But personally I prioritize performance over just about anything else, so I tried it as a daily driver and I haven’t found anything yet which would make me drop it. I especially like it in headless environments. All my VPS run it, and it runs critical infrastructure which I’m responsible for that monitors oil and gas extraction rates–so some pretty critical infrastructure.
Pretty rock solid.
