From what I understand of alpine, it's commonly used for Docker images to provide a lightweight distro for your apps vs using something like ubuntu or debian which may include more than what's required.
I don't believe it's intended to be used in a desktop environment, but I could be wrong.

- dougbarrett 5y agoGot it. Thanks for correcting me!
