Alpine Linux (in lightweightness), but glibc? (lemmy.ml)

Yes, I know so much of Alpine's lightweightness comes from not using glibc.

But still, the other options I see are far from being slimmed down. Debian, Ubuntu server, CentOS... They all could use some cuts.

What's the most slimmed down non-desktop distro that still has a glibc base? I honestly don't care if it has its own package manager (build tool handles this for me). Just wanna use it in containers for running server apps.

I assume with "non-desktop" you mean "container" and not, say, server or embedded? In that case Wolfi is a candidate.
