I am not sure that the founder approves of this but my current favourite way to use Chimera on the desktop is to install an Arch Linux distrobox inside it. This allows me to enjoy the base Chimera system while also having instant access to the full Arch repo and AUR catalog. It is also a simple way to run any application which currently has issues with MUSL ( since things run on Glibc inside distrobox ). Since Distrobox passes Wayland through, even graphical apps work great. The goal is to run as much as possible native in Chimera but sometimes I am just trying to get something else done. Chimera does not include distrobox in the repos but it does include podman so that gets you most of the way there. Anyway, it works great. I am posting this from Chimera right now. Some people prefer Flatpak but I prefer old school package management. Flatpak just feels so heavy and opaque to me ( but I know opinions differ ). Distrobox certainly works better for console stuff. Distrobox is just a handy tool as well and super convenient for spinning up quick sandboxes and temporary dev environments. Arch is just a personal choice as well. I could have picked Void or Debian or anything else.
