pretty much the only place where it's meaningfully slower is the allocator (which has a massive impact) so in chimera we have a special musl build that uses llvm's scudo instead (same as e.g. android) and is faster as well as more

i don't think that statement makes much sense considering these two are not similar at all chimera provides a comprehensive, opinionated OS, and little to nothing is common with alpine (not even the package manager, as apkv3 hasn'

fortunately, there is a FAQ which answers that and other things: https://chimera-linux.org/docs/faq#so-why-use-a-bsd-based-us...

it's actually just virtual memory, neofetch uses that instead of real memory consumption and the scudo allocator tends to be heavy on reserving virtual memory (actually much more so in the default configuration used in e.g. android tha

sed -i does work in bsd-type environments (in fact, freebsd and gnu added the -i argument around the same time, in early 2002), the main difference is that bsd variants follow strict getopt shortopt parsing (i.e. no optional values, and -i

i did intend to use pkg at first, however, after some experimenting apk turned out to be the better option (there are things pkg still doesn't support - such as version constraints, getting it to work on musl is a fair amount of patchi

i do use BSD make for a lot of components, but yes, there are a few where GNU make is not easily replaceable :) there are plans to change this eventually, but nothing has materialized yet

yes, i originally planned on making my own ports, but after seeing dcantrell's work, i decided to help out over there instead (i did a lot of the recent ports)

actually i had gcc in there at first, and it's roughly the same; however, clang does have a number of benefits of its own

the GNU tools have bigger featuresets, but from code quality aspect i much prefer the BSD ones it's not targeted at embedded, but it is an experimental project for the time being (the motivation is a split between "because i could
