I don’t understand, isn’t what makes it a desktop or a server what you want to do with it? Because it has just enough apps and utilities for me to work with it.
I just picked Alpine Linux for majority of security and efficiency out of the box. It still required a lot of configuration, for lowering attack surface and hardening.
I know you asked for a lightweight distro, but from a security standpoint, I recommend using whatever allows you to relock the bootloader. Which looking up I dont see any choice. If relocking doesnt matter, then any distro for speed is basically any distro that comes with as minimal stuff as possible.
It certainly makes great VMs - graphical or otherwise. I think some people use it as a super lightweight distro as well, though my attempt to install it on a less powerful PC failed (probably a firmware issue).
Are people using it also as desktop or server OS? I only know that it is popular for docket images.
I personally use it as a desktop.

Alpine was created for the sole purpose of pissing off Stallman, it doesn’t have any practical use.
Tips and tricks? I want to install on a chromebook I have, only 16gb mmc so a light distro would be great.

Also, I might be wrong so do some research
