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.

So this means you need either Alpine repos or compile everything yourself?
Void offers musl too. Unless they've discontinued it.
But
I do (almost) exactly that. I run Gentoo almost everywhere. The 'almost' is because Gentoo now offers an official bin repository too, so I can mix compiled and pre-compiled software. (Although you've always had the option to set up your own binary host).
How are you going to run steam though? Like at least alpine has wine, but there's no way to recompile steam unfortunately.
I was never into gaming really, and while I like the progress I dont really care tbh?
Nope. I mainly get my games (curretly around 10 only) from gog.
Don't forget Chimera Linux ( not to be confused with Chimeraos)!
