## Why use AlpineOS on the Raspberry Pi?

- **Very low memory consumption** (~50MB utilized during idle vs ~350MB for Ubuntu 20.04).
- **Lower CPU overhead** (27 tasks/ 31 threads active for Alpine vs 57 tasks / 111 threads for Ubuntu when cardano-node is running).
- **Cooler Pi** 😎 (Literally, CPU runs cooler❄️ because of the lower CPU overhead).
- And finally, **why not?** If you're gonna use static binaries, might as well take advantage of a fully static operating system like AlpineOS 😜

Set up and run a Cardano Node on a very lightweight Linux distribution.
