Not everyone approves of it, not everyone likes it, and if you do have a Nvidia GPU, you might want to skip Alpine
But it is a good distro, small to the point you can easily memorize every part of the system and how things click together
OpenRC in it, as everything else, does the bare basic. RC only runs and manages your services and that’s it.
It doesn’t try to be your DNS provider, it doesn’t try to be your logs manager, it only deals with the services(which are bash scripts btw), and that’s it
I rock Alpine with XFCE4 and Pipewire, and its the most usable distro I’ve ever had
There is also GNOME and KDE, but haven’t tried them
Only main issue with it, is that it uses MUSL instead of GlibC which, makes some softwares not work or must be compiled from source
I keep meaning to try that at some point

I’ll have to try it out then, thanks
