Not as a desktop but I use it on bare metal as my primary server. The main advantage is the absence of bloat, e.g. components like DBus or systemd that increase the attack surface. The use of musl vs. glibc does make some things more complicated, however.

? Like most distros that start you off but nothing but a minimal base, you can choose whether to install DBus or not. Almost everyone using Alpine as a daily driver on their PC probably has DBus installed and enabled.
