Flatpaks are easier to use in most distros. If you're using NixOS, then Nix of course. But if you want to do a lot of CLI stuff, then Nix may be better too.

AFAIK Solaris and Haiku don't have an OOM Killer by default. malloc just fails if the kernel can't provide enough memory.

Strongly typed is not an opposite of gradually typed. I think you mean statically typed. Strong / Weak refers to how type casts are possible.

Usually iD, but sometimes Vespucci and JOSM (I use it when I have som GPS data alongside).

In Spain, I think only ING has this cashback procedure that allows you to withdraw cash from supermarkets, but it's only for its own clients. It's not very popular and I have to admit, that as an ING client, I've never use that feature. More traditional banks still have lots of ATMs and banks like ING cover the ATM fees if you withdraw enough money (if you withdraw 200€ in one go, it's free for example).

I agree that Alpine Linux shouldn't be recommended to newbies but I don't like the explanation. Distros like Alpine Linux are good for the whole Linux ecosystem, as they avoid monoculture and bring diversity to the software, which in turn they foster competition. Like a biological ecosystem, betting everything into one particular specie is a recipe for disaster. Some examples: Glibc has found many bugs because musl did things differently, and it turned out that glibc was not following the standard (also musl had bugs on its own), GCC was stuck until Clang came out and developers started to prefer Clang,...

Yes, I have a VisionFive 2 and I use it to host some websites. I have am Arch Linux image compiled by a user in a forum, but the userspace packages are from a RISC-V repository from a other people working in Arch in general.

I could run my websites but it wasn't easy at first, because, yes I have Docker but there are almost no images for riscv64, so I had to do some compiling and build images in a local registry. Bu now it works pretty well.
