Although I wish the author commented about the experiences around the unique (administrative) bits of Chimera itself, such as:
- What's the package manager like, and how does it compare to say, pacman (especially in terms of update speeds and dependency handling)?
- What's it like working with dinit as opposed to systemd? Any annoyances, any compatibility issues with packages that expect systemd?
- Similarly, what's it like working with the FreeBSD userland, as opposed to GNU? Any script breakages due to differences in the switches? Because virtually every other distro ships with GNU coreutils, I would expect a decent chunk of popular scripts to fail on Chimera, if they weren't writen with BSD in mind. This is currently my biggest concern with Chimera. I also wonder if I can replace the BSD utils with the Rust uutils and without breaking things...
