Alpine:

Rolling release (Alpine Edge) yet stable
Extremely lightweight
Very customizable
After setting it up I find that it works very well
Decently sized repo
OpenRC rather then SystemD (I prefer the way it handles services)

I wonder how hard is it to download apps on Glibc-free systems, On Systemd-free systems ik there is Flatpack and stuff , asking this bcs many apps on Linux only work on Glibc.

I personally haven't ran into any yet, tbh I have more issues with SystemD dependent apps (Also keep in mind Alpine packages and maintains apps in their repo so they don't require GLIBs/SystemD)

I managed to get Steam working with some work, heroic games launcher worked with no extra effort, and everything in the repo is good (Alpine is independent)
