Very cool and interesting.. Just found out it was started by a previous Void Linux maintainer, Void linux is great as well!

For those that like the LLVM/musl/mimalloc choices of chimera, but also want signed commits, signed reviews, container-native design, full source bootstrapping, 100% deterministic builds, and multi-party-signed artifacts check out https://stagex.tools

Don't get mimalloc and mallocng mixed up though, completely different animals.

Really love that project. Is there any planned support for NVIDIA drivers and runtime?

If anyone sponsors buying me modern Nvidia cards with open kernel support, I would gladly test and support them.

Now this is WHY I love UNIX and UNIX-likes, the fact you can chop and change core components like the Kernel, Userspace, Init, etc. and (within compatibility limits i.e. MUSL/GLIBC) run a hybrid system like Chimera.

Would I run Chimera as a daily-drive? Probably not. Is it cool that someone can? Absolutely!

This seems interesting, but I've been using Alpine as a desktop distro wth ZFS for years now, it has native support and ZBM is available in the community repo. Not sure what advantages Chimera would add.

Chimera uses mimalloc instead of musl’s mallocng.

Speaking of OpenZFS encryption, has there ever been any third party review of the source code? Or any testing of any kind of its effectiveness?
