Alpine. It's wonderful. I've always liked minimal distros, and Alpine actively facilitates that. It doesn't get in the way, has everything needed to run a modern desktop, and the focus on security and musl compatibility are huge pluses.
Don't worry, it's not for long. They are eyeing systemd port, too.
No they are not. Systemd is very incompatible with what Alpine is trying to and succeeding at doing.
PostmarketOS which is based on Alpine switched to systemd, but I've seen nothing indicating Alpine is interested in doing so.
I have read somewhere that some kind of port is being discussed, perhaps at Phoronix, but I cannot find it now. Maybe I have confused something, so I stand corrected.
systemd is indeed totally incompatible with musl libc.
