    Chimera is a FOSS project and therefore does not and will not take donations

    Lol, what the heck is that supposed to mean?

    This is a very interesting project with some novel tooling. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

    I thought this was https://chimeraos.org/ and I’m not sure how I feel about the name clash. Especially since this project started at least two years after Chimera OS did, from what I can find.

    I’ve been running Chimera for about 8 months and love it. I’m very picky about package managers, and APK is up there with xbps (Void) in performance.

    Almost everything I need I can run via flatpack. There are a few apps that I miss. They have a guide for porting them but I got lost last time I tried to get everything setup.

    I thought about just running a container for those apps, but got lost in that setup too :). I’m waiting for some winter westher to hit so I have an excuse to stay inside and play with it.

    Chimera is cool, and that’s coming from someone who uses Void and Alpine and NetBSD. I’ve not run it on real hardware yet, perhaps I’ll give it a try.

    I really like the complete description of the OS, why they decided to use a tool instead of another. Very interesting project.
