Yes, I know so much of Alpine’s lightweightness comes from not using glibc.

But still, the other options I see are far from being slimmed down. Debian, Ubuntu server, CentOS… They all could use some cuts.

What’s the most slimmed down non-desktop distro that still has a glibc base? I honestly don’t care if it has its own package manager (build tool handles this for me). Just wanna use it in containers for running server apps.

    Honestly, of you don’t need to game, alpine is pretty great. Now if you absolutely need glibc… just use Arch, it’s the most lightweight sane person distro I can think of, unless you wanna compile Gentoo that is
