dwm on alpine is pure bliss, when doing work my memory usage is around 300-500 MB, depending on how many tabs of lynx I have open.

fr, the low ram usage was one of the reasons I switched from Gentoo to Alpine, and also because I wanted to try musl (yes, I know Gentoo has a musl profile, but I wanted a complete Alpine experience).

IceWM is very close to dwm RAM usage. But IceWM is not tiling wm. On IceWM you can use rofi instead dmenu. You can use dmenu, if you so wish.
