From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I thought this was https://chimeraos.org/ and I’m not sure how I feel about the name clash. Especially since this project started at least two years after Chimera OS did, from what I can find.
Apparently chimeraos changed their name from gameros after chimera Linux was already public
I didn’t even know chimeraOS existed while having known about chimera Linux for years so I guess that shows you how much the name clash matters
