Ports are pretty locked down. Not a public server either. NixOS politics concern me too. Especially being one of the first community members to be exiled in the notorious purge on non woke members.
I am in the process of forking NixOS and starting a new distro project. It is a couple months out though from a viable beta testing release. It will be a soft fork that will be focused on a non-woke / politics free community. While working together on creating actual proper documentation. That I am hoping one day rivals the Arch Wiki as the gold standard.
Look into starting out with NixOS, enable flakes, and get started with determinant nix. They don't really play into the politics aspect of NixOS. They also offer commercial support too.

As for Alpine Linux. My opinion is this. It is a pain in the ass to make it a desktop distro, but it can be done. If you do not mind a day, or two of headaches depending on your hardware. It is amazing for a headless server, or container based distro. Which is my preferred use case.
