Is Alpine Linux usable as a desktop operating system? I mostly will be using it for standard Unix stuff and I just want a simple, secure operating system. I have Windows for games and such.

Why exactly do you need alpine for your desktop?

It just seemed like a simple Unix-like Linux distro. I'm not a big fan of the GNU stuff. I'm currently using Void with musl and it seems to work okay, but I found Alpine and it looks cool.

Just use Ubuntu.
Preferably Ubuntu GNOME, but all variants work fine.

This. Ubuntu is the most suitable for desktop atm.

slack is pretty unixlike.

alternatively a BSD could be more to your taste. freebsd is a meme so bad even the devs don't use it, but openbsd and netbsd are great (no, netbsd isn't only for old hardware)
