[[!meta title="Alpine Linux on the HP X360 1040 G5"]]
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Due to RAM limitations in most notebooks (16G maximum) I have recently
|
||||
switched to the HP X360 1040 G5, more or less the 14" HP equivalent of
|
||||
the Lenovo X1 Carbon. Some tech specs for the geeks under us:
|
||||
|
||||
* Resolution 3840x2160
|
||||
* 1 TB SSD / NVMe
|
||||
* 32GB RAM
|
||||
|
||||
This article is work in progress, currently more to be seen as a todo
|
||||
list for myself.

||||
## Alpine
|
||||
|
||||
My backup notebooks are currently running Arch Linux and Devuan. As I
|
||||
find Alpine an interesting project (it resembles most of what I think
|
||||
how Linux should be), I thought about giving it a try.
|
||||
|
||||
Some things that are a bit special in alpine Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
* Does not come with shadow by default
|
||||
* Uses musl libc instead of glibc (yeah!)
|
||||
|
||||
Besides that, some things that are instant benefits of Alpine:
|
||||
|
||||
* easy to use package manager
|
||||
* easy to write package format
|
||||
* VERY fast package installations (because they are fast)
|
||||
|
||||
## What is working on alpine + X360 1040
|
||||
|
||||
Almost everything. C'mon, it's 2019 and as long as xorg + i3 is
|
||||
running, what is there more that you want?
|
||||
|
||||
## What is currently not working on alpine + X360 1040
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few
|
||||
minor hiccups that I still need to solve in the next days:
|
||||
|
||||
* create a package for mu4e 1.2 (currently installed in /usr/local)
|
||||
** needs fix for /usr/bin/sh reference
|
||||
* create a package for magit
|
||||
* create a package for vym
|
||||
* create a package for openconnect
|
||||
* checkout why the shotwell package is broken
|
||||
* checkout why the firefox package is broken
|
||||
* hotkeys don't send the right key events => might be a kernel issue
|
||||
* xbacklight => does not see backlight control
