&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We're diskless&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We take a LEAF out of the history book&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We climb the Alpine mountain&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pick a very small editor&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And we don our hoodies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Alpine Linux the History&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Back in 1997, Dave Cineage &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/19981212030604/http://www.linuxrouter.org/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;created the Linux Router Project, or LRP.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20010702160257/http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=13751" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;The Linux Embedded Appliance Framework, or LEAF project was started&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20010702153509/http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=47922" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Oxygen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20011101024349/http://leaf.sourceforge.net:80/content.php?menu=9&amp;amp;page_id=2" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;EigerStein&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Linux Router Project &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060421174527/http://www.linuxrouter.org/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;was done&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The LEAF project &lt;a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/37894/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;was still there&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;August of 2005, Natanael Copa, while &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5n_5Idlxvo" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;working&lt;/a&gt; for a non-profit company on VPNs and firewalls, &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110615024325/http://osdir.com/ml/linux.leaf.devel/2005-08/msg00039.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; a new distribution on the linux.leaf.devel mailing list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine originally &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100508011627/http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/About" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;stood for&lt;/a&gt; A Linux Powered Integrated Network Engine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The earlier versions are a little cloudy, but &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081013232448/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;we see&lt;/a&gt; Alpine 1.4 being developed in 2006, 1.5 in 2007, Alpine 1.6 released on April 30th of 2007 and the switch to development of 1.7 in the days after.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 2.0, the then development branch, first commit &lt;a href="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/645531103b2ee8ef54d53a58eca3b52f7d3fb9ac" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;"added busybox"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091103100326/http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Release_Notes_for_Alpine_1.9.0" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Alpine 1.9&lt;/a&gt; - OpenRC shipped and able to install on hard disks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A new website &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101212021228/http://alpinelinux.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is launched&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine Linux 2.0 &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100821094210/http://www.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Release_Notes_for_Alpine_2.0.0" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The team &lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160531153546/http://www.alpinelinux.org:80/posts/Alpine-Linux-forums.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;announced the Alpine Linux Forum.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.0 is released, and uClibc is &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.0.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;dropped&lt;/a&gt; in favor of musl libc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.2 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.2.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; and included the MATE desktop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.3 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.3.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with big renames of the editions that already existed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.4 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.4.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with support for running within VM's, better DNS support and running on the Linux Kernel's Long Term Support release 4.4.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.5 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.5.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; and this marks the first version to drop OpenSSL for LibreSSL.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.6 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.6.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with support for 64-bit PowerPC and IBM z Systems.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.7 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.7.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; and now supports EFI and GRUB.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.8 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.8.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; a bit behind schedule and marks the only release of the year.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.9 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.9.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; improved GRUB support, initial support for the newish ARMv7 and the switch back to OpenSSL.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.10 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.10.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with lightdm for login and display management, which shows a renewed interest in running Alpine on the desktop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.11 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.11.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with Raspberry Pi 4 support, initial Gnome and KDE Plasma support and the addition of Vulkan, DXVK and the Rust programming language.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.12 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.12.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with support for the D programming language.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine and others just do it better, so LEAF &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEAF_Project" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;sees&lt;/a&gt; its last stable release at 7.0.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.13 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.13.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; and comes with official cloud images for services like AWS, cloud-init and better wifi support on the software side.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.14 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.14.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with fail2ban taking a back seat to sshguard because it... failed... to ban... and ClamAV is now community supported.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.15 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.15.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; with kernel module compression using gzip, Gnome 41 and Plasma 5.23 land, and disk encryption is now supported right in the installer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alpine 3.16 &lt;a href="https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.16.0-released.html" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is released&lt;/a&gt; as the last release of this history with better NVMe support, adding SSH keys at boot, a new admin user creation process and a new &lt;code&gt;setup-desktop&lt;/code&gt; script for desktop environment installation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Clear Linux the History&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2015 - February 6th Clear Linux was officially released. The only &lt;a href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/happy-birthday-to-us/7281" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;reference we found&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2015 - February 9 - The first downloadable images, marked 300, 310, 320, 330 and 340, show up at clearlinux.org .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Arjan van de Ven &lt;a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/644675/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;penned an article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2016 - April 22 - &lt;a href="https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/clarity-desktop" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Announcement that the Container-only OS will now start shipping a desktop for developers.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In parallel, Robert Nesius &lt;a href="https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/clear-linux-installer-v20" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;announces&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/end-user-desktop-applications-clearlinux" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Enter, Flatpak&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/end-user-desktop-applications-clearlinux" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;The auto-updater is here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;XFCE, while still available, is no longer the default desktop. &lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/review/clear-linux-gnome" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;It's Gnome 3.24.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/433" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;first Issue in Github&lt;/a&gt; about ffmpeg not being included shows up.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/how-to-clear" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;"How to Clear"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wireguard &lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/17#issuecomment-410392156" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is added&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Snap was and will &lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/265#issuecomment-436055882" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;remain unavailable&lt;/a&gt; and unsupported.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A new installer beta is &lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clear-Linux-Desktop-Live-Beta" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;floating around&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The public forum &lt;a href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/welcome-to-the-clear-linux-community-forum/7" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is live&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/563#issuecomment-477317390" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Cups enabled by default.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clear-Linux-Desktop-Installer-2" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;version 2.0 of the new installer is released&lt;/a&gt; with a full graphical interface!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190520111801/https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/linux-os-linux-developers" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;An appeal&lt;/a&gt; to Linux developers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Offline installations are &lt;a href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/clear-linux-os-now-supports-offline-installs/1845" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;now available&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;exFAT &lt;a href="https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/62#issuecomment-541767114" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;is available&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The distro will &lt;a href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/changes-coming-to-clear-linux-direction-in-2020/4337/42" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;focus less on Desktop&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clear Linux &lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/review/endeavour-salient-ryzen" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;pulls out a win&lt;/a&gt; over EndeavourOS on the Ryzen 9 5900x.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu 21.04 enjoys plenty of kernel performance improvements, but &lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/review/ubuntu-2104-clear/4" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Clear wins&lt;/a&gt; in all but a handful of benchmarks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Against Windows 11, Windows 10, Ubuntu 21.10, 21.04, and Arch Linux, Clear Linux wins in 68 out of 102 benchmarks. &lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/review/windows11-linux-11900k/8" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Windows 11 won 1&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://clearfraction.cf/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;first third-party swupd repo&lt;/a&gt; (that we could find)!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clear-Linux-O3-Kernel" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Clear switches from the -O2 compiler flag for the kernel to -O3 for more &lt;em&gt;SPEED&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
