Entering alpha stage
chimera-linux.org
Today marks the day when the project enters the alpha phase. This has some implications, though it is not a release per se, considering Chimera is a rolling distribution; let’s take a look at what it means for potential users and contributors.

Chimera Linux is a non-GNU based Linux distribution. From what I see, they are trying to using the following alternatives:

  • *BSD core utilities (replacing GNU coreutils)
  • LLVM/clang (replacing GNU cc)
  • Musl (replacing libc)
