Chimera Linux is very interesting. Has anyone here tried running it?

My main gripes with it were that its package repositories were really small and that a lot of installer shell scripts just didn't work because they used GNU flags of coreutil commands, while Chimera Linux uses FreeBSD coreutils.

These issues can technically be "resolved" with Distrobox, but I just found the Artix Linux dinit version much more usable.
