Isn’t that a bit of a sexist logo...?
Sexist is probably not precise enough. I find the logo choice strange though.

#12potential successor to Alpine for lightweight docker images?
Maybe an arch sibling

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is it, though? (That's a bit of a meme, sorry.) No, seriously. Why would I choose this over Alpine? Or, given the failure modes of Alpine as a container image, why would I even choose Alpine? Everything in this space is absolute shite.
What’s the problem with alpine?
One issue is that they do not keep an archive of packages, and often you'll end up finding it really difficult to downgrade or use a different version that once existed.

Sexist, no. Weird and completely out of place, yes.

According to Itamar Turner-Trauring on Podcast.__init__[1] the issue with Alpine (at least in a Python context) is that the use of musl[2] instead of glibc (and I paraphrase) is an increased technical risk where corner cases that may not be as thoroughly tested are in view.
ITT counseled in favor of using containers based on ubuntu or centos.
I haven't done huge amounts of container work, but my light outings with Alpine have been fine. Maybe load and internationalization expose more personality in musl, or these concerns pertain to issues that have been fixed.
It's something to keep in mind when assessing risk.

#16That logo makes it a non-starter in any organization I've seen in the last decade.

That and the package manager is a bash script.

It is sexual, it references sexuality, does that make it sexist?

#19What is the standard pick these days for a no-frills, stripped back, but still usable Linux distribution? One that doesn't start with much, but isn't boiling the ocean like Arch or Slack if you want to add more?
I used to like Xubuntu, but this was like a decade ago at this point.

#20Looks cool but WTF is that logo? I'm an artist and I can't figure out what it's supposed to be even after staring at it for 5 minutes ¯\(°_o)/¯
