Adelie is basically alpine but with a much bigger desktop focus. That's its raison d'etre, to stick with the French :)

I think it would be helpful for this to be mentioned more prominently on the webpage. Maybe it is and I haven't spent enough time on the website.

The Adelie webpage should be a bit more technical in nature IMHO -- the front page seemed more targetted at managers than developers. Sadly, the Adelie website feels a bit generic in its current state -- there are so many "corporate" websites like this.

Home pages of Alpine Linux, Arch Linux etc. are ultimately useful to developers I think because the density of information is a bit higher and the marketing messages, while they exist, are not so front and center.
