@Linux No, you’re completely wrong – Alpine never provided glibc. It’s not possible to mix multiple libc libraries in one system (with classic layout).
There used to be an unoficial glibc package provided by some third party – it was a nasty hack to break your system in many unexpected ways (it worked for some specific use cases though). As we see here, it’s still a source of confusion and problems. lcruggeri@mastodon.uno

@jakub@social.jirutka.cz @lcruggeri@mastodon.uno glibc for one. There is still documentation for it and you can Google Alpine glibc and find guides requiring it.
Point being the last time I used Alpine it was there and now it is not and it is recent enough that even Alpine's Wiki still references glibc.
I have a few other issues in my post history.

@lcruggeri That’s not true. I mostly use Alpine on VMs and also on physical machines, including my notebook.
Can you be more specific about the changes made by Alpine? ’Cause I don’t know about any not specified in the release notes. I’d guess you’re complaining about some upstream project changes unrelated to Alpine… @Linux -

@Linux #alpinelinux is more a system for containers or #linux phones

Nope.
Back to Fedora I go. I do not want to waste my Sunday trying to figure out the odd changes Alpine Linux has made.
I want to get this done with and enjoy the rest of my day.
