Pyrenee Linux wants to create a community that wants to build desktop experiences with Alpine Linux!

- [] 🏁 Our first goal is to have an install script, because that is something I have experience with already (and should therefor be attainable before the end of the 2021! (even thou it'll be a duplicate effort in the long run)). It probably won't have all the bells and whistles we'd like to have shipped in our final™ product.

- [ ] 🏁 Our second goal will be creating an .iso with a live environment; first it'll include that install script but later it'll convert to use the Calamares installer. It is a very modular installer AFAIK, so that'll be perfect for Pyrenee Linux (and far simpler to maintain than that install script presumably 🤞😎)

It is a very modular installer AFAIK, so that'll be perfect for this project (and far simpler to maintain than the initial install script presumably 🤞😎)
- [ ] 🏁 Inspired by macOS's `TimeMachine` feature to restore individual files, one of the more ambitious goals of this project is to have a more granular `Btrfs` setup. This should provide the ability to restore individual folders, instead of the entire /home folder hierarchy.
Technical possibilities/limitations aside, but the current line of thought is to create `@USER@Downloads`...`@USER@Videos`...`@USER@Music` etc subvolumes. This should all be automatically set up and hopefully be integrated into the file manager 🤞😬

Because this project is aimed at end-users (and we don't want to make too many choices for them), Flatpak (w/Flathub) will be preconfigured. Snaps would be nice, but aren't a possibility right now. But we'll keep it under the radar for addition when it will be, and time permitted we'll actively engage in enabling this for our users!
