    Been doing a little anecdotal cross comparing Alpine versus Chimera for little things that I stub my toe on every once in a while.I notice that Chimera already has Plasma 6.6 since it is a rolling release. I expect for Alpine it'll come with 3.24 in May. Which is fine of course - no one died waiting for a point release. Ha.I wanted to dump ImageMagick for an alternative method to CLI bulk convert webp images. Alpine has libwepb-tools and ffmpeg (fishing with nukes), but wanted to try gmic. It is in (a)testing but complains that libImath is not available. Edge has it so will be in 3.24 I guess. Chimera installed it without issue.Alpine doesn't rely on Flatpak as much for the stuff I use compared to Chimera but that's no big deal, especially coming from Debian. I have nothing scientific (metrics) to back this up but Chimera seems to run like a scalded cat in a VM, even compared to Alpine after coming from Debian. May need to reinstall on real hardware & verify.Fun!#Linux #AlpineLinux #ChimeraLinux
