posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2025

Quoting: Chimera is a general-purpose Linux-based OS - LinuxLinks —

Chimera is a general-purpose Linux-based OS born from unhappiness with the status quo. The project aims to create a system that is simple, transparent, and easy to pick up, without having to give up practicality and a rich feature set.

It is built from scratch using novel tooling, approaches, and userland. Instead of intentionally limiting ourselves, Chimera strives to achieve both conceptual simplicity and convenience with careful and high quality software design.
