| | | | | I use Chimera Linux as the primary OS on my laptop (as opposed to my desktop, which is still running Arch Linux for now). Chimera was created in 2021 and reached alpha status in June 2023. Chimera was built from scratch and as the name suggests it comprised of a motley crew of components: Kernel: Linux Toolchain: LLVM libc: Musl with Scudo allocator Core userland: FreeBSD (with some NetBSD and OpenBSD too) Init: Dinit Package manager: apk Package builder: cbuild The project and its development is proving very useful to me for seeing how a Linux distribution is built and evolved over time. Watching it progress (and helping a little by maintaining some packages) has helped expose some lesser known (to me) components that make up a typical Linux system, and their role. Recently systemd-sysusers was introduced. Some folks might find this surprising as Chimera does not use systemd for the role of pid 1/init. As mentioned above it uses Dinit for this. Some standalone parts of systemd are used though. Currently: udev systemd-tmpfiles and now, systemd-sysusers I had not encountered systemd-sysusers previously (even though it's probably used on the systemd based distros I've used before), so I thought I'd jot down what I learned about it and how it's used (at the time of writing) in Chimera. | |
