This is really interesting as I have been looking at a way of going GUI free on an MNT Pocket Reform but still able to use the things I need; markdown,python and julia editing, plus uploading to dropbox using maestral, and the occasional diagram creation. It is the latter that is letting me down at the moment as I would prefer to not have to ssh in.

The MNT SoC (etc) drivers are still not up upstreamed, so think you're stuck on debian for a while

Yes, but you could also build a custom kernel. This mastodon post talks about alpine on the mnt reform [0].
