I'm slightly hesitant to mention it for fear of a flamewar, but as someone with a niche usecase that procludes me from using systemd/glibc, I'm very grateful to Chimera as a modern take on non-GNU/Linux.


There's also Alpine Linux, using openrc, musl, and busybox.


yeah I'm also taking great inspiration from Alpine, but I like to see diversity in the space.

as one example, musl values portability over performance (great for my usecase), which makes it often significantly slower than glibc. Alpine keeps their musl relatively close to upstream, where Chimera is patches theirs more heavily.
