As we read a few weeks ago, we already have our system almost ready. Now we need software and what better way than learning how to upgrade our *alpinOS* or use its *apk* package manager.

This morning I woke up wanting to update some script in my **PiKISS project**, and a new version of *Crispy Doom* has been dropped so I can play *Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strafe* without any complications.

This is the 5.7.1 version that appeared a few days ago and there are so many changes that I better leave the repo for you to take a look.

Today I will continue with the development of my operating system *AlpinOS*. We'll see the first initial tasks to get an SD that will boot into *Raspberry Pi* and we'll know more about how *Alpine Linux* works.

This weekend I tested an operating system that I almost always use in my *Docker's* containers and honestly, I hadn't even thought about using it in *Raspberry Pi*, since I don't remember today if there is any fork or operating system that takes advantage of the benefits that *Alpine Linux* offers us. My idea is to prepare an operating system with the minimum and necessary to be executed in memory and to put some scripts that get the system ready to be able to execute the tasks that I need: multimedia with *Kodi*, emulators with *Retroarch* or development environment with a system prepared to have a web server in which to program. **You and me** will think new scripts.

This is the first of a group of posts where **I'll build an operating system using Alpine Linux for the Raspberry Pi**. If you like the idea, you know... Come in without calling!

BOX86 on RPI4: The Bard's Tale 30FPS 1080p shocking performance! [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnGecRABD-M)

I'm surprised by the channel of our well-known *youtuber* [PI LAB](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgfQjdc5RceRlTGfuthBs7g). He has been showing up to us videos about *Box86* for several months, an environment based on *x86* to run mostly video games with the minimum possible emulation. In the words of its creator, *qemu for example needs a full x86 chroot to run, and everything is emulated (so you get a high generic compatibility, but you have to emulate everything, and accessing the hardware can be complicated). With Box86, the minimum is emulated. Compatibility may be lower, but many things run natively, leading to some speed increase. And you don't need a full chroot, just a handful of x86 libraries to run things.*

It's so exciting when you see a closed box, isn't it?

I have a problem: I don't know how to disconnect from work and lately I have one that has me completely saturated. But today I decided to disconnect and do a review of a fan that the guys from *Seeed Studio* sent me. Here you have the link to [Blink Blink ICE Tower](https://www.seeedstudio.com/Blink-Blink-ICE-Tower-CPU-Cooling-Fan-for-Raspberry-Pi-Support-Pi-4-p-4215.html). I'm telling you that as a ventilation system for *Raspberry Pi*, it's one of the **best solutions to keep our dear Pi cooled**. Don't you believe it? Come on, I'll show you now...
