it's an alternative to GNU/Linux proposed by Richard Stallman. I use it because I don't want to write out as much and I still want to differentiate from my use of Android's OS which is also technically Linux but it's not GNU.
What would you call Alpine Linux?
it's an outlier for sure. I don't think I have a specific use-case for it as a distro but I do find it more respectable than Android.
