The linked article shows how to use Distrobox with Ubuntu to run Blender on an unsupported distro, even works on a musl libc distro like Alpine!<br/><br/>I followed the instructions but the Blender (v4.5.3 iirc) that is in the repo for that version of Ubuntu (v24.04) didn&#39;t seem to work. I downloaded the latest Blender version from blender.org (v5.1.2) and installed it in the distrobox VM and it worked perfectly!<br/><br/>I&#39;m going to try to do it using a more modern rocm supported distro in the Distrobox next.<br/><br/>This pretty much negates the last daily driver niggle for Alpine for me... other than the sftp annoyance I posted about earlier - which I can work around easily enough. <br/><br/><a href="https://thomchroma.fr/en/blog/gpu-rendering-blender-rocm-hip/">https://thomchroma.fr/en/blog/gpu-rendering-blender-rocm-hip/</a><br/><br/>#Linux #Distrobox #AlpineLinux #Alpine #AMD #rocm #hip #Blender 2026-06-11T22:31:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9tcyaz2a8sx6thmp722fuwegagpyywfnx6np0yh2ka3xrf9rm3vqzypqua3xdwzkfswl8gjhwzzcclcr6a0vzxdduh9wmk96ds0j43wl27kuz0ua In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8rcdv9ngf6z0mf9hlfjsz7rmpvez8u4unmvjnx3t0ex34tqrdxucyp5v2a'>nevent1q…5v2a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thx, yeah, compared what kio* is installed vs available and it seems I have kio-extras and kio-fuse which should deal with it to make sftp work - and it does - just ridiculously slow. 2026-06-11T20:37:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs99c8zhrl0d6yrs0sdcs04y7gupmgwpulzqssfvkgf9dh20ml97rczypqua3xdwzkfswl8gjhwzzcclcr6a0vzxdduh9wmk96ds0j43wl27ycpkah Anyone know why using sftp with Dolphin in Plasma is so slow in Alpine Linux?<br/><br/>Using Debian, doing the same thing is like greased lightning. <br/><br/>It&#39;s not network, ssh/scp/rsync/sftp command line works wicked fast between hosts with Alpine. <br/><br/>Something about Alpine and Plasma it seems.

That&#39;s about all I&#39;ve gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone&#39;s wish list.<br/><br/>Anyone have the skinny?
