This might be the dumbest stuff anyone has asked here, but has anyone tried running Alpine as a desktop base OS? Seems pretty well stocked when it comes to the repo, and it’s light asf.
Thoughts?

I’ve dabbled in it, but not really committed to it. It’s a great lightweight server of course. I am a KDE Plasma user so I did a quick test of that and was able to install it via Alpine, but at the time, the support for
javawswas not there which I needed at the time for my job, so that killed my plans on using it. I may venture back to it later on .Iff you’re a VSCode user, you might benefit greatly from Dev Containers. You’ll basically be running Docker containers, which can run almost anything of course.
