I was thinking we could use a different kernel than Linux, but I’m not sure and I want your input.

I think forking a BSD will be very unpopular with the BSDs community who have mixed feelings about Chimera primarily from the principle that BSDs are more cathedral than bazaar. OpenBSD would be my preferred non-Linux choice though.

GNU HURD is not feasible for innumerable reasons.

MINIX 3 might be worth considering.

Ultimately Linux has excellent support for basically every device in existence and can be thrown into anything without complaint, so I think it'd be best. I don't want to write a kernel.

The package manager is easy to port since it's all POSIX however many of the packages aren't
Last I heard Wayland support on anything that isn't Linux still isn't good at all so I'd likely end up packaging everything needed for X11, which is a lot of work across probably several dozen packages.

Also, as mentioned, device compatibility is infinitely better on Linux than anything else.

Linux definitely makes the most sense to me.
