Wesley MooreI have committed crimes against Chimera Linux.
Now with a GNOME desktop installed on real hardware.
I have changed the name to avoid implicating Chimera in my experiments/crimes.
Whew! With that I've built (and patched as needed) all of main¹ against glibc. Highlights include Chromium, Plasma Desktop, LibreOffce, gimp, Blender. Now to see if any of it works.
¹ barring some stuff that I deemed non-essential and marked broken because it didn't build.
Alright, now up and running on my laptop. It has passed the first major test too—the one that motivated this whole endeavour—can I download GNU/Linux software, and have it just work? Yes! I downloaded 1Password and it works 🎉
1Password wasn't high up on the list of motivating software since it has an official Flatpak, but a non-Flatpak install integrates with the system and browser extension better.
Progress on my glibc based Chimera Linux continues. I've picked a name: Casuarina Linux.
On the weekend I resurrected my old mini-ITX desktop, put a new 5950X CPU in it, installed Casuarina on it, and prepared it to be the x86_64 builder. I did a source bootstrap and then set it going building all of 'main'. There were a few things that needed fixing here and there, but it completed tonight.
Next is to get builds happening automatically on https://build.casuarina.org/
It took a few attempts but I now have automated package building with Buildbot. It's getting a trial by fire by building thunderbird and chromium.
Tuan-Anh Tran@wezm what font is that in the terminal? it looks really nice.
