I use it as a bare metal OS on my blog server and it's great in that scenario too. I've personally found the libc stuff makes it really inconvenient to use as a desktop OS, unfortunately. You have to jump through hoops to get something like VSCode to "just work".

Software like VS code is in direct conflict with the way alpine does things. Alpine on the desktop is certainly not for everyone, but for some use cases it works great.
