    Can the file be split into different files like in Gentoo? I used to have different files for basic stuff, gaming, hardware specific, etc, so I could keep the parts of the Configs I wanted from one machine to another.

    If so I’ll definitely check it out, been meaning to try Alpine since for what I understand it’s not GNU, right? Which should put a final nail in the GNU+Linux copy pasta hahahah.

      I don’t think apk would check multiple files for the world. But you could maintain them outside the apk mechanisms, just concatenating them into a single file, with tup/make/sh/whatever.
