No, it’s a different package, though they both use kwin as the compositor and have the same core apps (dolphin, kate, etc.)
I’ve used alpine and can confirm, it’s pretty fun and efficient.
I’ve even been thinking of trying to setup a super small work environment on it, a full Wayland desktop daily driver, like, using labwc, lxqt, foot terminal and Emacs making it into a terminal first workplace with the ability to exploit it’s computing efficiency to make use of the modern stack in stuff like web browsing when the terminal tooling doesn’t cut it.
My computer can run everything pretty well already, but a terminal first environment is the perfect training for me to get used to my new split keyboard layout, while also being a perfect excuse to go all in on my programming hobby by setting everything up in a container like environment such as alpine, additionally, the minimalism larp appeals a lot to me, it just feels right.
