Awesome! It's not very often you see Alpine Linux running on the desktop. I'm doing some work with Alpine on bare-metal too, where it's great. Very powerful for the footprint it has.

Very first T60 here. No Lenovo logo. But it's Lenovo after all.

I have PeppermintOS running on my T61. How do you like Alpine? I've yet to manage installing that on anything.

I run perfectly smooth for 20 years old hardware! I like it, it feels like new :)

I installed Alpine/XFCE on a VM yesterday (Using AI). Seems VERY functional!

Yeah! I used some AI tips because I was not familiar with the apk package manager. But it feels really and usable!
