anyone have much experience with running alpine+gnome as a desktop?

i'm looking for a distro+DE combo that i don't have to worry too much about, doesn't have random crashes every 10 minutes, preferably has a sane AI contribution policy (i.e: fuck off with that shit), and that i don't have to fight the package manager to not install half a million unrelated packages whenever i want one thing.

I'm using chimera and it's alright. Mostly because of the linked post, but also to try going a little off the beaten path. Alpine also looks like a solid choice for that, and their packaging policy of disabling opt out tracking and firefox's ai crap is nice. They seem to take it seriously.

Not sure if it's flatpak or kde but I seem to have a lot more issues with games and window size; I have to lower my monitors resolution before launching the game to hit a reasonable fps and I try in game or after it's launched things break, and I can't really get gamescope to work well.

Gnome and KDE are both uninterested in putting any effort in supporting systems without systemd. I guess we'll see how much of a burden that becomes for the BSD's and systemdless distros.
