Non GNU Linux Chimera

Hello:

Just stumbled on to this article.

Do note the spelling*.

Best,

A.

* Chimera, not Chimaera.

Ha! I just came here to post the same thing :-)  The guy should have picked a different name...

Re: Non GNU Linux Chimera

Well, before long Chimaera will be old stable then fade into history so it probably won't affect us that much. Some folks searching on the other spelling could even end up here which isn't a bad thing . . . smile

Re: Non GNU Linux Chimera

I like this distribution — dinit as PID1, FreeBSD user land, Alpine's package manager and GNOME as the default desktop. It even has ed in the base system. Nice. EDIT: and it uses doas instead of sudo and musl libc so it cannot be used with systemd.

Just posted a screenshot of the live version:

Note that Alpine Linux is also a non-GNU Linux (one of the reasons I like it actually, GNU is bloat) because that uses busybox for the user land utilities.
