Plugging Alpine Linux, a distro that while known for its small size, which led to widespread adoption as a Docker base image, includes grsecurity by default in its kernel and is very security focused.

It's hard to believe that Alpine is "very security focused", when both the .iso and checksums are served over http/have no https forced.

  The ISOs are GPG signed.

    True, but public key is also send with http by default and signature doesn't even have proper https. It is possible to securely verify the integrity etc (e.g by using keyservers), but Alpine doesn't help with this at all.
