@All_bonesJones@Moon@coolboymew but this also has to be done properly. see hoi4 where mods that fix historical inaccuracies, add things like harder urban combat, more complex econ and more turbulent politics or just fix the moronic AI, which are things that make the gameplay harder and more realistic, lock you out of achievements.
@sjw alpine's installer is dead simple, maybe even kinda too simple (protip: don't do the mirror latency test, just grab the first one unless you distrust fastly). When it comes to FDE, unfortunately, it will only encrypt your /, but not /boot, which you'll have to do manually, but there is a good article on the alpine wiki, which for a few subjects might be just as good as the arch wiki. Also mind you, when it comes to software availability it is not just the matter of having to compile from source or having to resort to flatpaks. Musl can feel a bit limiting, I'd say it's less than 5% of free software won't work without modifying the source code or compilation flags (specifically in cause of Rust, you may need to enforce static linking) and proprietary crap is usually only distributed via flatpak.
So with all that being said, for server alpine would be probably the second best choice for security after OpenBSD, but for the balance of usability, simplicity and security it might be the best. But for desktop you'd probably be better off using Void.
