We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

I believe the drivers for pmos are all written from scratch, at least for the iOS devices. I'm sure some things could be borrowed from Lineage device trees. Their Wiki says that most of their supported iOS devices dont have anything past basic screen support, so I would guess that the shared base is only marginally helpful, unless alpine is no longer a part of iPhones (iPhone 6 is the oldest on the supported list I think?)
