Chimera Linux

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine’s package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

I already used alpine for a few years, before containers were a thing. I heard about it exactly because it was advertised as a distro without GNU components, which was revolutionary at the time.

You sound weary with that kind of comment, I wonder what bother you so much about seeing a new distro pop up ?

Alpine is nice, but this one has some differences:

LLVM instead of GCC toolchain
not so barebones, gives you more ready-to-go installation
obviously not so lightweight

I thought the whole point of alpine is it’s lightweight, given its use in so many docker containers

I was stating that this Chimera isn’t that lightweight.
