It's Time for a second look at the Alpine #Linux
Small footprint, everything runs in ram and any changes/settings that must persist are committed into a tiny overlay tar ball.
Seems perfect for Raspberry pi zero 2 w 😁
Discussion
Did you install it?
I did, surprisingly it was very straight forward. Considering switching two of my prod vm's to alpine.
On pi zero boot time is awesome, 34mb of ram used by the system. Cpu is nice and chill, while installing updates on raspbian os burns and throttles.
Happy to share good docs I used.
