Mostly (points at himself) it's staring you in the face. I wanted for the work laptop: musl, zfs and encryption, no systemd, the latest KDE. And then i remembered the excellent write-up by @dwarmstrong , installing a Chimera Linux base with all that. And Chimera has 6.7 in the repos. A perfect combo!

Installed Chimera again on a dev box over lunch.

It’s no worse than Alpine in terms of compromising on what I want (musl etc), & it is one lovingly put together distro. The craftsmanship in it is really quite nice.

Now Alpine’s imploding in a puddle of AI slop it might be another (temporary maybe) home. My one worry, if that’s the right word, is systemd sneaking in there. Dinit feels one step away. Several of the (many) parts are in there already. Etc.

Still. For now. Maybe.

Alright - Chimera-Linux install (and to install sway and other specific things) has been a bit of a journey but ultimately fun.

So first and foremost: Thank you for the peeps at #chimeralinux for putting together a solid and interesting distro that I may use on a daily basis now!

My main hurdle for most of this has been getting things to play nice with musl - Specifically... GHC which I need for work and some silly version of python that I needed to work.

Good news, got a solution for GHC that while not ideal, is definitely workable.

The python stuff is looking okay so far but I will see when I eventually hit a wall with it.

I'm proud to say that I installed Chimera linux on my laptop this morning. There's no handy-dandy graphical installer that does everything for you, there's just documentation that walks you through manually partitioning a drive and creating file systems, running some scripts, chrooting, setting up boot loaders, editing fstab file, etc. While inconvenient, working at this level definitely makes me feel in control of my own system and demystifies some of the stack. #ChimeraLinux

So che Stallman potrebbe farmi le macumbe, ma come si indica una distribuzione con kernel Linux che non utilizza come base principale le GNU core Utilites (e magari nemmeno glibc)?

Non-GNU/Linux GNU-less/Linux?
Distribuzione "esotica"?
Ditemi la vostra definizione.
