pfriedmaOh wow, installed #chimeraLinux on my Chromebook and darn it's speedy. Like the bsd userspace as well.

Doing My Day Job on Chimera Linux
View of sugar cane fields from where I was working. 💡 What Is Chimera Linux? Chimera Linux is a unique from-scratch Linux distribution created in 2021 by q66 that combines the Linux kernel, musl libc, FreeBSD userland, apk package manager, and dinit binary init system. The whole system is built with the LLVM toolchain. Since I started running the first alpha release of Chimera Linux in 2023, my goal has been to eventually migrate to Chimera as my primary operating system. This includes personal tinkering as well as for my job as a programmer. A recent trip to Central Queensland afforded an opportunity to test the waters of daily driving Chimera Linux for work. The trip spanned two weeks and involved working remotely (as usual) during the week, and sightseeing on the weekends. This post details some of the barriers that I encountered and how I worked around them. While the post is focussed on Chimera Linux, the details probably apply to most distributions using musl libc.
Jacobo Da Riva Muñoz 🇪🇺Ayer descubrí #chimeraLinux e intenté instalarla, pero es demasiado Alpha aún y la documentación que hay para la instalación asume que tienes un ordenador con UEFI y no he sido capaz. Pero tiene muy buena pinta y le voy a seguir los pasos. Seguiré intentando instalarla...
Wesley MooreChimera Linux has been using apk 3 for a long time. That's helped expose a few bugs, so hopefully the Alpine switch is smooth.

👨💻 New post! I wrote up my experience daily driving Chimera Linux during a recent two-week trip to Central Queensland. I needed to work as usual on the weekdays, so I had to set up my work environment including: #Mercury, #Rust, and #Zed.

I made some progress packaging the Pinnacle Wayland compositor for Chimera Linux last night. Core functionality and sessions are working. Next I have to package 4 Lua modules to get the Lua API working too.
As people really seem to like seeing screenshots of @chimera running @kde here's a current one of my Raspberry Pi 5 8GB running KDE Plasma 6.3.5 on Chimera Linux
Because I just remembered that an other person on IRC asked why I wasn't running Chimera Linux on the Dell well the answer is NGreedia of course.
The "Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming 7567" comes with a Nvidia 1050 TI Mobile (GP107, Pascal) nouveau isn't in a shape on Pascal GPUs to do gaming and that's what I definitly want to do on my travel machine.
Chimera is a musl based distribution (like Alpine or Void) therefor the nvidia binary only drivers aren't an option.
However, I made myself a nice portable Chimera installation on a external SSD a while back so booting it up is always an option.
