I'm typing this from an Alpine laptop. It still has a ways to go in terms of being as user-friendly as Slackware, but it's getting there. Some trouble at the moment is figuring out all the packages you need to install (and how to configure them) to get an actual working desktop as you'd expect it. There are also bugs in things like Bluetooth support and some other things. But overall it's quite usable, and very fast. You end up using Flatpak for any proprietary apps once dealing with glibc compatibility problems becomes too annoying. Some apps on Flatpak don't really work, like Slack (maybe it's possible to get it to work, but after a few days I gave up). Electron apps in general are a huge pain. I've gotten 1Password to work in Docker after over a week of futzing around. You really learn how much of a nightmare the Linux desktop today is. You also learn how much of the desktop (and non-desktop) apps actually require systemd to run at all, and how people have had to come up with fake systemd components. You definitely learn a lot about Linux!
