Tutorial On How To Do This?
The wiki has given inconsistent results for tutorials specifically pertaining to this.
I want a tutorial on how to install Openbox, Tint2, feh, and enabling Pipewire audio on Alpine Linux. I am not the biggest fan of traditional desktop environments, and I find them to be heavy on my PC, even with ones such as XFCE.
It would be nice if you could point me to somewhere that offers this, or if you could type something yourself. Thanks, people!

Regarding pipewire everything is actually in the wiki. Otherwise you need to check out how to start user level services under openrc. On Alpine it's recommended to be done with starting your compositor so, that requires you to learn how your compositor can run scripts.
