I have been using Alpine as my main desktop system
If you need gaming, or you have a Nvidia GPU, your idea is dead on the water, not having glibc makes nvidia drivers impossible to use.
But that aside, the desktop feels snappy, the system is extremely small so knowing exactly how everything is running/working, and OpenRC is a breath of fresh air compared to the 'do everything' SystemD.
All pieces of Alpine just does one thing, which makes things really predictable.
Albeit, my path isn't without hiccups, for example X11 made suspend when the lid closes outright crash X11, so was forced into Wayland
And Pipewire, I have to restart it whenever I switch from the computer speakers to headphones or vice-versa
You'll find some small bugs and small issues, but if you really want a more spartan and simplistic way to handle your linux box, it is amazing
Also, APK is the best package manager, I felt in love with it
Funnily enough, the Switch works perfectly fine without any subscription
If all you want is plop your games and play without Multiplayer, you can go with a Switch just fine
Even some games like Ninjala let's you play online without the subscription
When realistically do you make use of 100% of what the PS5 has to offer? Specially shit like Raytracing? Or can realistically feel the difference between DDR4 and DDR5?
Unless you're some sort of developer that works on low level (or particularly lazy game developer that has to squeeze every bit of graphics to hide the fact the gameplay sucks), you won't see the difference between any FPS above 240(even 120 depending on your monitor)
Not to mention, remove gaming from the list, what else can you do with the PS5? Because boy, the list for what you can do with a computer without gaming is absolute huge
Poke around with Caddy on bare metal
Idk if it is something I was doing or just placebo from my head, but Caddy is a lot faster on bare than Docker in Alpine
Tho the drawback is having to manually set-up logging if you need (otherwise g'luck with whatever it decides to throw at syslog)
Alpine
It just gives me the system and go "do whatever"
It's snappy, decluttered, doesn't get in the way
It doesn't have a bazillion systemd components, it's as barebones as it can be
Since 4.6 or something like that, don't remember exact
But the anti-cheat with even HoyoPlay is working fine on Linux, even ZZZ worked out of the box right on release
"I miss those old ports" is what I'd say, but my laptop has 'em :3
