I prefer function over form so everything is rectangular and there are no gaps or rounded edges.

I may post dotfiles once I organize them, which is literally never, so if you have a specific question just ask.

How do you find Alpine? Was it as easy as Arch to set up post install? Do you have any complaints related to it, especially on the Wayland and tiling front?

I have no complaints about the OS itself and I really like the package manager. The wiki is lacking tho, which is not an issue 99% of the time cause I can still check archwiki, but its something to keep in mind.

Post-install was similar to Arch and fairly straightforward, except for having to set up logind

As far as wayland goes it works the same as on any other distro, nothing Alpine specific that you should look out for.

How do you handle lack of systemd? Do you use elogind or seatd? Do you package some things yourself considering Alpine isn't popular as a desktop distribution?
