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.

Probably there is something you loose if you'll change to the allocator chimera Linux uses (btw microsoft developed it, I don't know if it is good that they're the once that made it but it works, I use chimera Linux with the microsoft) but I don't now what. All I know that for general purpose pc it works great, the only troubles I got were with software made just for glibc. I'll be happy to know what I loose when not using the standard allocator for musl, but I don't know, is there a chance you can check it? thank you giving you point of view, I appreciate it.
Oh I have absolutely no Idea where to check at all. I guess Chimera has a community, its best to ask people who are there and use it and know it or know where to lookup.
They had a subreddit, but now it is closed or privet. Instead they have communities on different platforms I don't have
