#ChimeraLinux

6 posts4 participants0 posts today
Wesley Moore<p>I tried this on real hardware (ALIX) last night. It was a battle requiring multiple CF cards and CF to USB adaptors before I got a working combination. Then with some further futzing with grub I was able to get it to show grub and start booting, but nothing happens after that. I let it go overnight thinking it might just be really slow (it's a 500Mhz CPU), but no luck. I think the next thing I'll do is change how things are compressed—zstd might too much for this machine. <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a></p>
Wesley Moore<p>Full rebuild with proper i586 support is complete!</p><p>Here is an install running in a VM allocated 256Mb RAM and the CPU set to 'pentium'.

Wesley Moore<p>And it boots!</p><p>I'll probably need to do a full rebuild at some point as it seems that clang defaults to targeting pentium4 (newer than what I want) for all i?86 toolchains, which I didn't notice until late in the process. <a href="https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61347" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/llvm/llvm-project/i</span><span class="invisible">ssues/61347</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a></p>

Wesley Moore<p>There were a few defaults on Chimera Linux that commonly tripped up build tooling such as make being bmake, install being BSD install, and some other flags to tools like cp and ln. q66 has been on a quest lately to address these. Default make was switched to GNU make, install gained a GNU compatible mode, and other tools got compatibility arguments. The end result is far fewer patches required to build things. 🎉 For example:</p><p>• <a href="https://github.com/chimera-linux/cports/compare/1d0eedfa3704...f220481a81b4" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/chimera-linux/cport</span><span class="invisible">s/compare/1d0eedfa3704...f220481a81b4</span></a><br>• <a href="https://github.com/chimera-linux/cports/commit/de85b12a98b26219eca966e56eaec336e81d2a7b" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/chimera-linux/cport</span><span class="invisible">s/commit/de85b12a98b26219eca966e56eaec336e81d2a7b</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a></p>
Justine Smithies<p>Hi thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Justine I'm a marine electronics engineer to trade which basically means I install / repair anything on a vessel from satellite internet and sat TV to autopilots, radars, VHFs and navigational equipment. Other than that I've been a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> user since around 2000 and even worked on the distro LRs Linux that basically compiled from scratch according to the users hardware and was LFS based. My current daily driver is <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a> and my WM of choice is <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RiverWm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RiverWm</span></a><br>I am currently migrating my <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> from <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>.</p>
Wesley Moore<p>📔 New post: Why Chimera Linux</p><p>I received a reply to my Tech Stack 2024 post asking: Why Chimera Linux? I wrote a response that turned out longer than anticipated and figured I may as well post it to my website too. I’m not trying to convince people to use Chimera with this post, just note down why it appeals to me.</p><p><a href="https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2024/why-chimera-linux/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wezm.net/v2/posts/2024/why-chi</span><span class="invisible">mera-linux/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>
