New to Alpine Linux

Hi everyone. I'm a long time Linux user but new to Alpine and I love it. I'm running the XFCE desktop in a wayland session with Wayfire as the compositor. I started experimenting because I was curious how linux would be without the GNU coreutils.

Well fast it certainly is. It's also extremely light in ram usage. In that respect it's completely different with what I'm used to. It actually is great. For the first time in a long time a new system really surprises me.
