    I only ever used systemd for services and did not use any of the other features. Openrc does that and it works so nothing to handle.

    I use seatd and I do not use polkit. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the default login binary does not support PAM so I had to install shadow-login.

    I do use flatpak for lutris, web browser and few other things, but I prefer native packages. If the package isn’t in the repos I package it myself, the package format is almost identical to the one Arch has so a lot of times its enough to just edit the dependencies and build.

    Fyi I checked the r/unixporn and there is no post about a lemmy instance even tho the owner of this community claims this is an official one.

    Not that it being official would make things different, there is no need for the specific set of mods that are on reddit to post rices.

    I have no complaints about the OS itself and I really like the package manager. The wiki is lacking tho, which is not an issue 99% of the time cause I can still check archwiki, but its something to keep in mind.

    Post-install was similar to Arch and fairly straightforward, except for having to set up logind

    As far as wayland goes it works the same as on any other distro, nothing Alpine specific that you should look out for.
