([Operating Systems] 58 Minutes Ago Alpine Linux 3.24)


Alpine Linux, the Linux distribution popular especially for containers / micro-services and embedded devices, is out with its newest feature release.

Alpine Linux 3.24 was christened today as for advancing this lightweight Linux distribution built around musl libc and Busybox. Alpine Linux 3.24 ships with installer improvements with setup-alpine now able to support the Limine boot loader and also having IPv6 handling support. There is also better handling for headless setups.

Alpine Linux 3.24 brings a number of package updates including LLVM 22, Rust 1.96, OpenZFS 2.4.2, Qt 6.11, Ruby 3.4, Nginx 1.30, and many other updates. On the desktop side is GNOME 50, KDE Plasma 6.6, Sway 1.12, and the System76 COSMIC desktop environment is also added to Alpine's community repository. This release also bids farewell to the GTK2 and Qt 5 packages.

These things from ancient times arise from one:
The sky is whole and clear.
The earth is whole and firm.
The spirit is whole and strong.
The valley is whole and full.
The ten thousand things are whole and alive.
Kings and lords are whole, and the country is upright.
All these are in virtue of wholeness.

The clarity of the sky prevents its falling.
The firmness of the earth prevents its splitting.
The strength of the spirit prevents its being used up.
The fullness of the valley prevents its running dry.
The growth of the ten thousand things prevents their drying out.
The leadership of kings and lords prevents the downfall of the country.

Therefore the humble is the root of the noble.
The low is the foundation of the high.
Princes and lords consider themselves "orphaned", "widowed" and "worthless".
Do they not depend on being humble?

Too much success is not an advantage.
Do not tinkle like jade
Or clatter like stone chimes.
