I use Alpine Linux as a daily desktop. I use swaywm and foot, sometimes LibreWolf for browsing. I’m mostly using the command line with some TUI’s so it’s a very minimal system.
I found out I really enjoy POSIX scripting so that’s how I choose to spend my spare time. I try to make scripts that make using the CLI environment easier to use.
If you are interested, I have a script that can setup Alpine on a desktop with full disk encryption. I didn’t figure out how to do it, I just made the script easier to use.

I also use it for two Raspberry Pi devices. I think the minimal environment is good for a server. Less complexity and attack surface to think about.
I’ve learned a lot about computers and the operating system with Alpine, it’s been a fun experience.

I tried to run Genshin Impact on Alpine once. Did not succeed.
