hyperrealThought bubble: What, technically speaking, would prevent me from setting up gaming on Chimera Linux, such that I can get performance and quality levels near or on par with CachyOS or Bazzite?
cloudskaterHuuuuge thank you to @chimera for their very clear and stress relieving stance on "generative" AI, as well as other unpleasant things that go against the values one should expect of FLOSS projects. You may have earned yourself a new user based on that alone!
Time to boot up an old laptop and see how it runs~!
Also, side note: "Chimera" Linux. Idek if I'm pronouncing that correctly when I say it out loud, but whichever way I try ends up sounding nice. I like that name (and your colour scheme). :3

One more reason to use #ChimeraLinux , a certified gay, completely #woke distro.
konstruct-960T-BF64.ggufTime for the third distro hop of the month, destination : #ChimeraLinux ! Greener pastures, hopefully?

Okay. Now that I'm back home. It's time to install Chimera on my laptop.
I think I'm going to give Chimera Linux a try. It looks weird, but in a good way.
Root MooseBeen doing a little anecdotal cross comparing Alpine versus Chimera for little things that I stub my toe on every once in a while.
I notice that Chimera already has Plasma 6.6 since it is a rolling release. I expect for Alpine it'll come with 3.24 in May. Which is fine of course - no one died waiting for a point release. Ha.
I wanted to dump ImageMagick for an alternative method to CLI bulk convert webp images. Alpine has libwepb-tools and ffmpeg (fishing with nukes), but wanted to try gmic. It is in (a)testing but complains that libImath is not available. Edge has it so will be in 3.24 I guess. Chimera installed it without issue.
Alpine doesn't rely on Flatpak as much for the stuff I use compared to Chimera but that's no big deal, especially coming from Debian.
I have nothing scientific (metrics) to back this up but Chimera seems to run like a scalded cat in a VM, even compared to Alpine after coming from Debian. May need to reinstall on real hardware & verify.
Fun!

Per this list (https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html), Chimera Linux and ElementaryOS don't allow LLMs to slop up things.
This doesn't address the problem of the kernel and systemd doing it, of course.
pfriedmaNow seems to be as good of a time as any to plug @chimera #chimeraLinux
Which is great if, for reasons, you're interested in something without systemd, or most gnu for that matter as it uses freebsd user tools and llvm/clang.
It also happens to be wicked snappy even on very modest hardware

Updating a Chimera Linux VM that I haven't started up in over a month.
Neato, kernel 6.19.5 and Plasma 6.6...
