IIRC Alpine was originally built largely for embedded networking gear, then because of its small size came to be favored in container images (where smaller images are a selling point), but it's a general purpose distro and I've had a good time daily-driving it on laptops. If apps/musl are a problem you can just install flatpak, but off the top of my head I've only needed that for Steam and non-firefox browsers (but `apk add firefox` works fine).
Actually, a funny thing is that I used to daily-drive Void, and I do remember having more problems there because of musl. But I think that may have been mostly a chromium or webkit problem with... something about how Void+musl did memory allocations? I forget. Anyways, I'm pretty sure even that would be fixed with firefox or flatpak so w/e.
