Yes, I have KDE with Chimera.
I dont like Gnome either… screens full of icons do not appeal , I like drop down menus and a clean screen.
If Chimera had Xfce I woukd have chosen that, but KDE works for me.
I think Chimera’s repository depends heavily on Alpine, so it may be not as comprehensive as Debian. How do you find the apk package system?
I like everything about chimera but there are still few packages but I like the manager.
we need something like aptitude
It seems less complex than gentoo, so far so good
Yes, nothing like Gentoo… it is more like Void, except not rolling release.
I think that will come. Remember it is only a beta release.
The Alpine page on apk is helpful
also this from Nix
