    Chimera Linux is great. APK and cports are so good I cannot imagine going back to anything else.

    Bash is not the default shell though. Chimera uses the Almquist Shell from FreeBSD. Other Linux distros have “dash” which is basically an Almquist variant.

    Almquist is lighter than fish and fish is not POSIX compatible.

    Bash is available in the Chimera Linux repos of course and is required for many common scripts.

    “Not run by fascists”. Sometimes I wonder.
