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

how can I install on chimera virtualbox?
I tried with the classic installation for linux
after finishing the installation, the program starts and closes again
I am not sure. My VM installation reported at the beginning of this topic was in virt-manager. Virtualbox uses the same tools as virt-manager (ie KVM/qemu) so it should be possible.
I had a bit of trouble with USB mouse and USB keyboard hardware, but that was only while installing. My Chimera runs in virt-managerwithout issues.
Where exactly does chimera get to when you boot it in Vbox? Do you get a command line login prompt? Do you succeed in logging in? Is there any message on your screen?
I assume you do know that in Vbox, after completing an install, you have to switch it from ‘boot from CD’ to ‘boot from virtual disk’
