In February last year I wrote about running a FreeBSD desktop, and concluded that sometimes you need to give yourself permission to tinker. Well recently I’ve started tinkering with Alpine Linux! It’s been recommended to me for years, so I’m finally getting around to checking it out. There’s a lot to like if you come from BSD, which we’ll dig into here.

BSDs are nice, but I don't think they can be used reasonably well in a professional environment for example where you need to interact with multiple other projects.
Something Debian-based seem to have won this battle in the last decade or two. Ubuntu kinda solved this and created a massive community of experienced and inexperienced people sharing their knowledge and comments.
Maybe another distro is better for some reason, but there's basically no community for it compared to Ubuntu.
And then you have the Desktop environments as well... but that one has a clear winner, KDE of course.

+1 for KDE, best distro so far to me, highly customizable and suitable to Linux beginners
