summary

Description of Chimera Linux, a distribution combining the Linux kernel with FreeBSD userland, LLVM/Clang toolchain, musl libc, apk package manager and custom Python-based package/build system. Covers how the project bootstrapped a multi‑architecture, rolling-release system (aarch64, ppc64le, riscv64, x86_64), uses thin LTO, dinit for service supervision, Wayland for display, and techniques for sandboxed, unprivileged package builds and self-rebuilding from other musl-based bases.
