So I've recently jumped on the #AlpineLinux bandwagon again; this time with #IceWM.

Even thou not everything is working as I would like it to work, I think I'll keep it around for awhile. It already took me some effort to get to this point, because Alpine Linux isn't your typical #Linux desktop distro. At least it isn't their main focus point, but their desktop installer script predates the one from #ArchLinux.

But sometimes you run into some bugs you wouldn't be expecting. For example if you install #flatpak, it doesn't depend on fuse3 (which includes fusermount3 it requires) but on fuse3-libs. I think I'll have to create a new bug, because in 4 days time they haven't responded on the comment I made in a "closed" bug (I don't want to artificially increase their number of bugs, to properly fix an old bug) 😔

And iio-sensor-proxy is still broken (which I reported a year ago), so I had to rewrite my autorotation script, to expect input instead of reading the contents of a file. But the way I've rewritten it also gives me the option to separate out the orientation check into a different script, which is beneficial for other distros that don't have a working monitor-sensor or devices without an orientation sensor ✌️😎

alpine linux, the security focused distro that docker chose to use.

Btw I'm looking for some help to have multiple networks listed in my wpa_supplicant conf file 🤔
