Yes, I know so much of Alpine’s lightweightness comes from not using glibc.

But still, the other options I see are far from being slimmed down. Debian, Ubuntu server, CentOS… They all could use some cuts.

What’s the most slimmed down non-desktop distro that still has a glibc base? I honestly don’t care if it has its own package manager (build tool handles this for me). Just wanna use it in containers for running server apps.

    I know there is a way to install glibc in alpine. Worked for my admittedly hobbyist use case. I just don’t remember the package name but it’s in there.
