At last, a goodbye to Python 2. Otherwise, I'm excited to see the increased support for desktop use of Alpine with each release. This time, a new setup script is included to help set up a desktop environment automatically. For some reason, it's very satisfying to boot such a small distribution on a big screen.

For anyone who is curious, this already includes the container image on the Docker Hub.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;n_copa&#x2F;status&#x2F;1528822310957891584?s=20&amp;t=DNal65vkYS-oj4p5CStAYQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;n_copa&#x2F;status&#x2F;1528822310957891584?s=20&amp;t...</a>

Always happy to see an upgrade to one of my favorite distros.<p>Interesting to see that &#x27;sudo&#x27; appears to be soft deprecated in favor of &#x27;doas&#x27;.<p>Also very interested in the setup-desktop script mentioned.
