Chimera Linux is an independent distribution which uses an unusual combination of technologies behind the scenes. Chimera Linux uses BSD userland command-line tools, the Clang/LLVM compiler toolchain, Dinit for service management, and APK for package management. The project's latest snapshot introduces a text-based system installer: "This set has been overdue for a while so it mainly comes as an update with new versions. This set is based on kernel 6.18 and comes with latest versions of desktop environments and most other software. Newly, the live images will not automatically import LVMs and ZFS pools, as that was found to be unintuitive and sometimes system-breaking (with ZFS-on-root setups). Additionally, the images now come with an experimental TUI installer. It can be invoked as chimera-installer from the command line. The installer supports the following: Local and remote installs, APK mirror setup, with up to date mirror list fetched from the repo, basic setup (hostname, timezone, root password, user account), installing extra packages, kernel version selection, bootloader setup (GRUB and systemd-boot, including BIOS/EFI/OF)." Additional information is offered in the release announcement. Download (SHA256, signature, pkglist): chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20251220-plasma.iso (2,408MB), chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20251220-gnome.iso (1,735MB), chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20251220-base.iso (992MB). |

The Chimera Linux project has announced a new snapshot of the team's independently-developed rolling-release distribution. "The images come with a fresh version of apk-tools. This version finally supports several features that we began using, particularly variable expansion and being able to migrate most of its files into a system-wide /usr location. That means you finally have a way to properly change your mirror of choice without having to mess with the repository definitions. The process of doing that is in the relevant documentation section. The repository definitions have been updated to use the new v3-style index naming, though backwards compatibility is also provided. Linux kernel 6.13 is used in the new images. That means updated hardware support and other things. Both the GNOME and Plasma images (the latter is still experimental) come with the latest versions of their respective desktop environments. Various fixes have been made to allow the live system to work better and more seamlessly on more machines." Additional details are offered in the release announcement. Download (SHA256, signature, pkglist): chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20250214-gnome.iso (1,509MB), chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20250214-plasma.iso (2,133MB), chimera-linux-x86_64-LIVE-20250214-base.iso (807MB). |
