DistroWatch published a review on Alpine Linux 3.17.2.

Alpine Linux 3.17.2

Alpine Linux is a lightweight, independent distribution with a focus on simplicity, security, and efficiency. The project has a well earned reputation for being small and well suited to working in minimal environments, such as containers and mobile devices. The project's website offers some additional key points:

Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and BusyBox. This makes it small and very resource efficient. A container requires no more than 8MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledged Linux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository. Binary packages are thinned out and split, giving you even more control over what you install, which in turn keeps your environment as small and efficient as possible.
