I use Alpine on desktop. The "inadequacy" of Alpine for desktop is a widesp=
read=20
myth, which needs to stop. Flatpak, DBus, and many graphical programs are=
=20
available on Alpine.

If one really can't live without the GNU versions of standard utilities, th=
ey=20
are available in the repos:

	apk info coreutils
	apk info sed
	apk info awk
	apk info bash

and so on, but Busybox is also quite usable when one restrains oneself to u=
sing=20
POSIX instead of GNU-isms. (It's not that hard!)
