There are several Debian Alpha ISO images available:
http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-alpha
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/5.0.10/alpha/iso-cd
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/2020-08-19/
https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/Alpha
https://www.debian.org/ports/alpha/
https://www.debian.org/releases/woody/alpha
And Gentoo Linux:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Alpha/FAQ
There is also NetBSD:
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.0/alpha
And OpenBSD:
http://www.openbsd.org/alpha.html
And FreeBSD:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-alpha.html
We ran DEC OSF/1 until the power supplies on our several Alpha systems
died, but it had an annual license fee, and the O/S shutdown when the
license expired.
