Chimera Linux Releases New Images With Kernel 6.18 (linuxiac.com)

Chimera Linux, a still-in-development systemd-free, rolling release distro written from scratch that incorporates FreeBSD’s tools and libraries to provide a unique, lightweight, and modular experience, unveiled its latest set of installation ISOs powered by Linux kernel 6.18.

One notable change affects the behavior of live images. Chimera Linux no longer automatically imports existing LVM volumes or ZFS pools when booted in live mode. This decision follows reports that automatic imports could be confusing and, in some cases, cause system damage.

The new behavior is intended to be safer and more predictable, especially for users testing the distribution on machines with existing installations.

Is this the same chimera as the steamOS alternative? I remember using it a while back trying to me a htpc but didnt like igpu

No. This one is actually cool, useful, and innovative. And it tries to do some things differently than everyone else.
