Chimera Linux is an independent Linux distribution that aims to be practical while requiring the least amount of complexity or configuration to do so.
It uses userland tools from FreeBSD, the musl C library, the LLVM toolchain as the foundation of the system, providing an alternative to GNU-based systems, but without explicitly excluding GNU or GPL software. It also aims to re-think various aspects of common Linux distributions, as well as provide stronger security hardening than usual.
