I’m considering getting myself a Thinkpad x230 and installing Alpine on it and perhaps playing some games with it as well. I’ve read that some games may have problems running due to the lack of glibc. So, it would be nice if anyone could share how well Minecraft and Factorio can run on Alpine. Thanks!

    Alpine apparently has been bundling gcompat for glibc compatibility since the beginning of the year. Idk how well it works, but running games on it might not be hopeless

      I wonder how well gcompat works. Is it as simple as running a program with Wine?

        Alpine wiki makes it sound like an install and forget thing
