This might be the dumbest stuff anyone has asked here, but has anyone tried running Alpine as a desktop base OS? Seems pretty well stocked when it comes to the repo, and it’s light asf.
Thoughts?

Alpine works great for the desktop and I’m using it myself for my lower end machine.
Working without glibc and with some strangly named packages is sometimes tricky, but so far I have been able to do anything I’d wanted!
If it can help you in your journey, here is my personal configuration for Alpine, with WMs and DEs on their own branches. Only the ‘suckless’ (DWM) and ‘xfce’ are working properly so far: https://gitlab.com/sunoc/als/-/tree/suckless?ref_type=heads
