[BLU/Officers] Chimera Linux

[John Abreau]

This looks interesting. Should be a great topic for an upcoming BLU meeting.

"Spotted in the wild: Chimera – a Linux that isn't GNU/Linux. It's not yet
reached alpha, but it's already breaking new ground."

"Chimera is a general-purpose OS based on the Linux kernel. It aims to be
clean and usable while addressing the various shortcomings of an average
Linux distribution.

"It does so by liberating itself from the common baggage of most
Linux-based systems and doing its own thing. Software is sourced from
different places and sometimes written from scratch."

"... its userland tools are based on FreeBSD, LLVM serves as the system
toolchain, and musl provides the C library implementation."
