I've been using Chimera Linux for some time now, and it's great. (The maintainer of it is a bit of a strange one, but hey-ho).

Chimera Linux is the Linux based on musl using the freebsd userspace. (This isn't anything new, Debian had an attempt at this with Debian-freebsd).

@wezm has created Casuarina which is essentially Chimera Linux with glibc rather than musl.

Very cool. I'll be looking into this!

Oh. A casuarina is a type of Australian Pine; I've never seen one (they're native to Australia), but thanks to all the puzzles I solve, I've heard of one. ;P

        Dearest #Fedora and other miscellaneous #Linux #distros,

        This is ridiculous. For the love of all that is good in the universe, please pick a larger default font for the fbdev console. 🤓
