HI All,

I am brand new to Alpine having come from Arch and am so far very impressed.
As well as embedded small machines I would like to replace my desktop machines with Alpine, but find I cannot install my favourite desktop "Gnome3"

The meta-package "gnome-base" doesn't exist any more and many of the other packages like metacity gnome-panel etc are no longer there ..
Is there any way to get more support for this desktop ... pretty please ..

On another issue: I have been running Alpine/xfce in a bhyve VM. It runs fine except the resolution is only 1024x768 (instead of the requested 1920x1080).
Is there any planned support for running better in bhyve?

Many Thanks,
