I'm a noob Linux user and I recently went full-time Linux. I want to use Alpine Linux for a self hosting project but I couldn't find much material. Can anyone direct me to a tutorial for Alpine setup and setting up a server for nextcloud and OpenVPN? Thanks in advance.

Alice “psykose” who is easily responsible for the highest number of commits per author over the past year has decided to step down from maintaining her packages.

She hasn’t decided what to do next but likely “catch up on a year of sleep.” She doesn’t believe that this will ultimately impact Alpine Linux itself but hopes that others will pick-up what’s needed to keep on going with the package maintenance.

I'm trying to install Alpine on a 2008 model iMac 8,1. However, the boot selection screen crashes if the Alpine USB is plugged in, which means I can't boot the installer.

It's not a fundamental Linux issue, as I was able to boot and install MX Linux.

I've also had the same problem on a 2010 MacBook. However, I can boot the USB on a 2014 MacBook Pro 11,2.

How can I troubleshoot this boot issue? Is there a trick to make a custom install USB which will boot on an old Mac?
