# Alpine Linux
I heard you like extra light distributions, right? Alpine is **the**
distribution you will love then! Although I used it once on a server,
I use it very often when I have to create Docker images and containers
due to how light it is. When I installed it on my server, its fresh
install only took something like 100MB on my hard drive, I’m not even
kidding! Its package manager `apk` is relatively easy to use too. Be
aware though Alpine Linux does not come with Systemd or `glibc` but
with its own init system, `musl` and `busybox`, so it’s not even a
GNU/Linux distribution like all the others above.

I don’t know of any madman running it as their daily driver, but it’s
definitively possible although I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone
that’s not very used to Linux. I don’t find its documentation to be
great either, but it’s still enjoyable.
