Alpine Linux
Alpine Linux is a non-commercial, general-purpose Linux distribution that is independent and not for profit. It is intended for power users who value simplicity, security, and efficiency. Alpine Linux is built around busybox and musl-libc. This makes Alpine Linux smaller and more efficient than traditional GNU/Linux distributions. A container takes up only 8 MB, while a minimal installation to disk takes around 130 MB. You get a full-fledged Linux environment and a wide range of packages from the repository. Binary packages can be thinned and split to give you more control over what you want to install. This allows you to keep your environment small and efficient. Alpine Linux is a simple distribution that will not get in your way. It has its own package manager called "apk", the OpenRC init process, and script driven setups. That's all! This allows you to have a simple, clear Linux environment that is free from all the noise.
