Yes, there are many ways to install Linux on a Chromebook. In my humble opinion, this is the best way. Maybe you'll like it! In today's thrilling episode of Veronica Explains, I'll introduce you to...
Oh, that’s right, I forget about that. But also, I don’t know much about musl and glibc. But of course, Alpine is a distro meant for servers, so some desktop/laptop stuff I’m trying to do may not work so well.
Since Artix is like Arch but without Systemd, I’m hoping it may be comparable to using Alpine. I’m using Artix Linux with Runit on my main desktop, and it’s been great so far.
Alpine is much more targeted towards containers, virtual machines, and embedded devices. The most common use is for containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Podman), as it is incredibly small and efficient, and containerized applications can be specifically designed to run in Alpine. It could be used as the main OS of a production server, but isn’t especially common to my knowledge. Its biggest advantage is its incredibly small size, which is what makes it so great with containers and embedded devices. It is not targeted towards desktop use, so desktop support in Alpine is an afterthought more than anything.
Of course, you can feel free to use Linux however you like and choose whatever distro you like, but it’s very likely the problems you’re having are centered around musl.
Alpine uses musl, and at least some amount of stuff has (implicit) hard dependencies with glibc. You might be running into that as well.
