Yes but its made for container deployment, it is so bare bones it would be a pain to use as a desktop OS

Actaully super nice using it with KDE or a independant window manager- But then you just have all the desktop packages installed anyway so my resource useage is the exact same as my arch setup… Alpine is amazingly small compared to other bare bones distros, but that saved 10mb of ram doesn’t mean much when your desktop and browser are using a gig
