WARNING: Blatant self promotion follows :)
I've recently switched to using Alpine on my laptop, and have written a bit about setting it up using ansible here:

And when you can't find the apps you need in the distribution there's always podman:

- moltke 5y agoI ran Alpine on my laptop during the last half of college. It's a great little distro if you don't mind occasionally compiling things.
- djbusby 5y agoI've been on Gentoo since 2005. It's a great distro if don't mind compiling everything ;)
- boondaburrah 5y agoI got hazed by an upperclassmen with gentoo around that time and it's ruined me ever since. It's just not Linux if I can't edit a text file and rebuild the world.
- maffblaster 5y agoFun fact: Gentoo actually uses Alpine docker containers as a base to build their Docker containers.
- mkdirp 5y agoInstead of using podman directly, and potentially messing with X11 permissions, you could use x11docker (despite the name, it podman support). It attempts to safely share X11 into a container.
- throwaway984393 5y agoTried using x11docker in Alpine, didn't work for the Electron apps I tried with it. Tried for several days; finally got the app running in Docker without x11docker.
- yencabulator 5y ago> safely vs upstream saying > Using x11docker as a sandbox is not intended to run obviously evil software.
