Interesting, I had looked at postmarketos but it was too bloated for me perhaps the last time I looked as compared to tinycore which was truly super minimalist

Like is there a way to get postmarketos with something like jwm or anything small perhaps? I would love to give alpine desktop a try, I think I did the disservice of not trying it enough then if you mention this

IMO the only reason to use postmarketos is if your hardware doesn't support normal Alpine. If you've got a normal x86 machine, just install Alpine, run setup-xorg-base, apk add jwm, maybe some minor setup I'm forgetting, and you're set.
