Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
[...] While it has been possible to get Alpine on the Pi for some time – Raspberry Pi 2 owners have been able to get it working since version 3.2.0 – this is the first version to add support for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and also offer an arm64 (aarch64) image to ease deployment.
The Pi 3 Model B+ packs a surprising amount of power into a small package, rocking a 64 bit 1.4GHz processor and gigabit ethernet (over USB 2.0). The 1GB RAM (unchanged from the previous Model B) should give the slimline Alpine incarnation of Linux more than enough headroom, depending what else you decide to run.
[...] Alpine's frugal nature makes it appealing as an alternative to some of the more resource intensive distributions available for the Pi, with optimisations such as OpenRC replacing systemd as the init system. A minimal disk installation will only consume around 130MB and the maintainers claim a container only needs 8MB.

But that might lead to bad feelz in some modern snowflake that has been raised to believe their beliefs can never, ever, under no circumstance, be questioned. Better everyone wear a muzzle than one snowflake have sadz. Doesn't matter what, just never question them. If they are thirty and still believe in the Easter Bunny you better not so much as snicker or it will be off to the camps with you unless you have several more Intersectionality points than they do, then you might escape with a stern warning.
