 This is a very neat little operating system, I'm running it on my Redmi 2 and it's working perfectly. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn something new about the way their phone works and how Linux is implemented on it. The installation procedure is surprisingly easier to understand than some desktop Linux distributions, and every interface feels polished and thought out. The package manager is very fast, although some applications are missing on the aarch64 architecture of the Alpine Linux repository compared to the x86-64 architecture
