It was a great thread. Bottom line is, use what you like, no shame in doing so. Even if it isn't Linux we hope you enjoy and find some value in what we are doing here.
On "Where does the non-distro history go next?"
Johnny, one of our fantastic patrons, gave a thumbs up to our mention of desktop environments and how often these histories would come out.
He said "Hi, I vote for quality over quantity. I also vote for Leo's favorite, the history of XFCE! :D"

GNU Nano
Dave Taylor's Elm Mail System
Laurence Lundblade and his cohorts were looking for something that had ease-of-use written all over it.
Enter, Pine. The [freeware-like](wayback.archive.org/web/20001201215500/http://www.washington.edu/pine/overview/legal.html) answer.
"freeware-ish" label wasn't good enough. So, in 1999, Chris Allegretta, made changes to address that.
TIP, which stood for TIP Is not Pico, 0.5.0 README.
2016 Looking for a new maintainer.
Still looking
Nano leaves GNU in 2.6.0
Debian acknowledged and accepted the change.
Come back to GNU in 2.7.0.

Alpine Linux the History
Back in 1997, Dave Cineage created the Linux Router Project, or LRP.
The Linux Embedded Appliance Framework, or LEAF project was started
Oxygen
EigerStein
The Linux Router Project was done
The LEAF project was still there
August of 2005, Natanael Copa, while working for a non-profit company on VPNs and firewalls, announced a new distribution on the linux.leaf.devel mailing list.
Alpine originally stood for A Linux Powered Integrated Network Engine.
The earlier versions are a little cloudy, but we see Alpine 1.4 being developed in 2006, 1.5 in 2007, Alpine 1.6 released on April 30th of 2007 and the switch to development of 1.7 in the days after.
Alpine 2.0, the then development branch, first commit "added busybox"
Alpine 1.9 - OpenRC shipped and able to install on hard disks.
A new website is launched
Alpine Linux 2.0 is released
The team announced the Alpine Linux Forum.
Alpine 3.0 is released, and uClibc is dropped in favor of musl libc.
Alpine 3.2 is released and included the MATE desktop.
Alpine 3.3 is released with big renames of the editions that already existed.
Alpine 3.4 is released with support for running within VM's, better DNS support and running on the Linux Kernel's Long Term Support release 4.4.
Alpine 3.5 is released and this marks the first version to drop OpenSSL for LibreSSL.
Alpine 3.6 is released with support for 64-bit PowerPC and IBM z Systems.
Alpine 3.7 is released and now supports EFI and GRUB.
Alpine 3.8 is released a bit behind schedule and marks the only release of the year.
Alpine 3.9 is released improved GRUB support, initial support for the newish ARMv7 and the switch back to OpenSSL.
Alpine 3.10 is released with lightdm for login and display management, which shows a renewed interest in running Alpine on the desktop.
Alpine 3.11 is released with Raspberry Pi 4 support, initial Gnome and KDE Plasma support and the addition of Vulkan, DXVK and the Rust programming language.
Alpine 3.12 is released with support for the D programming language.
Alpine and others just do it better, so LEAF sees its last stable release at 7.0.1
Alpine 3.13 is released and comes with official cloud images for services like AWS, cloud-init and better wifi support on the software side.
Alpine 3.14 is released with fail2ban taking a back seat to sshguard because it... failed... to ban... and ClamAV is now community supported.
Alpine 3.15 is released with kernel module compression using gzip, Gnome 41 and Plasma 5.23 land, and disk encryption is now supported right in the installer.
Alpine 3.16 is released as the last release of this history with better NVMe support, adding SSH keys at boot, a new admin user creation process and a new setup-desktop script for desktop environment installation.

Bill also hacked together a temporary, intermediary editor
1987 - A limited vi clone STEVIE, the ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts, was born.
1988 - Bram Moolenaar took the source for STEVIE and ported it to the Amiga which marked the first release of Vim. It was also known as the "wq text editor" at the time. Most folks take the acronym to mean vi Improved, but originally, it stood for vi Imitation. It took on the Improved meaning later in 1993 around version 2.
