This guide will go over how to install [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) as a desktop but with encryption, secureboot and a graphical wayland session using wayfire. Alpine Linux makes a perfect base for those who want a minimal, simple and secure Linux installation. This installation will also make heavy use of [Nix](https://nixos.org/) and [Home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) which allows for easy deployment and user independent packages. Check out the [Alpine Linux wiki](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Main_Page) for additional resources and information.
