Hi,
I belief VMware Photon OS is better ~ global defence networking. Epic teams - it's all about that. If you know you know.
That said, the paradigm of software provides hardware-triggering functionality by using these hasn't changed yet. There is no new category of an open source patent philosophy eg. for robotics or MR/AR/VR related cheat sheets.
In the old but gold flavor of cheat sheets, I would begin with saying Photon OS is superior in:
- using the VMware's Linux Cryptographic Module for Non-Proprietary Security Policies (FIPS 140-2)
- ci/cd pipelines to improve networking use cases eg. for virtual radio network applications
- Robust uefi and secure boot on vSphere, rpm ostree + package manager tdnf image/package system
- longer LTS periods
- documentation because you find Photon OS learning stuff almost in every VMware software appliance product
What I like on Alpine from the prospectives
- Same focus on developers and productive environments. In addition, Alpine maintains docs especially for newbie developers
- more choices of platforms x86_64, arm32 and arm64, Raspberry Pi, PPC64
- more non-proprietary, classic server use cases articles
Alpine also maintains desktop environments. Not sure if this is in better sequence though. I mean an installer with support of all 80+ file systems flavors would be somewhat a nice feature.
Hope this helps.
