Not the OP but one nice thing about Arch is the AUR. Practically everything you could want per-packaged and up-to-date. Distrobox let’s you have this killer Arch advantage on whatever base distro you want. Maybe you love Debian but find the outdated packeges an issue ( fixed ). Perhaps you love Apline but cannot afford to fight with Musl compat ( fixed ).

I love the idea of Chimera Linux and would love to daily drive it. However, package availability is going to be a constant drag. Oh, and it uses Musl as well. Both these problems go away running Distrobox / Arch on top. I could keep the base system clean and simple while having a dev environment that is frictionless and full featured ).
