  • I largely agree, but I could see having a prebuild iso/img including uboot for most common boards being a lot more user friendly than doing it by hand.

    That and a binary cache could make things take a couple mins for a download vs a couple days to compile the kernel + all packages for any user with lower end hardware.

    Kinda like what armbian provides for the arm space, but with a lot harder initial curve by hand rolling their own distro.

    Mid-range networking equiptment common in higher end homelabs or small/medium enterprises.

    Doesnt compete with fancier Cisco gear, but has an easy to use interface that can scale fairly well.

    Though like most networking equiptment the hardware is dirt cheap, so Alpine’s lightweight base fits it well.
