It's a nice and clean Linux distro, Alpine is great for being lean and you can get around any portential glibc problems with flatpak/chroots/virtualisation if you don't mind, also aports (the build system) it's pretty straightforward. the package repositories are decent and flatpak does the rest I find.
I've run it as a general purpose fix-it drive for a long time but it's good for servers or routers, or decent enough on a laptop/desktop, it's more of a hands-on approach than most other distros so I'll find myself on the Gentoo or Arch wikis a bit of the time.
It has it's quirks like any distro but it's very nice once you're used to how it works, it generally avoids complexity. I like it in that regard.
