Greetings.
The objective of this page is to report what I do to install alpine. If it works, others can also follow it. If it doesn't, I can refer others to it so that they can help spot what I'm doing wrong.
Boot from ventoy.

..enter file system password many times..
reboot.
..now the fun begins..
root
passwd
---> Immediately upgrade to edge because I know I need it to install signal-messenger.
edit the file as instructed: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Include:Upgrading_to_Edge
apk update
apk add --upgrade apk-tools
apk upgrade --available
sync
reboot
..the fun continues..
root
passwd..
setup-devd udev
apk add dbus
apk add dbus-x11
rc-update add dbus
rc-service dbus start
Only relevant if you want to install cwm! (this method is currently complete only for sway)
add the following lines to .xinitrc:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.3
# feh --bg-fill /home/legolas/wallpaper/valley_of_flowers.jpg
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session cwm
note that last line. it is currently the only thing I do to start the d-bus session for my user. I think there is more I have to do.
(also, technically, the wallpaper will have to wait until I download the appropriate file..)
apk add mesa-dri-gallium
..and now we're almost done..
setup-desktop
sway
reboot
root

this seems to work. (!)
