From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alpine linux has plenty of cases

pretty good for servers

a fast package manager

...which are easily surpassed by (pretty much any distro). And idk why you highlighted those like its a some sort of "deal breaker" for whoever wants a stable/reliable distro -- even a potato (486 and down) can run apt (which is terribly slow compared to any other package manager) incredibly fast nowadays. If those are (still) issues that are considered to be critical by you.... then eh, I'm afraid to say that it's a (You) problem. :^)
