Re: "Alpine Linux it is..."

In: s/Linux

On FreeBSD, I just use DSBMC for automount.

I know this is an old topic, but I'd like to add that this document/link seems to have some decent info on Alpine. I recently installed it from a Void install due to wanting to migrate my Void install to an encrypted install, needless to say it failed and because of time factors I really needed something that was quick and easy to get up and running with HDD encryption during the install.

Happy to say that, that was 3 weeks ago and I'm still rocking Alpine with Wayland, Pipewire and KDE everthing has just worked without many issues

Alpine Linux it is... — Well, I moved my main machine to Alpine Linux. I installed XFCE for now, to get a better sense of it. Alpine seems to not automount USB drives, which was something that annoyed me to no end with FreeBSD... Maybe there is a way to do it, as I have a stack of backup drives that I need to work on... I botched the XFCE install a little by screwing around with X a bit, so the login screen flashes for a second and disappears... It's still there and I can log in, but I can't...
