What is Chimbalix?

Chimbalix distribution features:

Developed for our own use.
Autonomous and internet-independent: The distribution can be installed and fully used without internet access.
x32 libraries out-of-the-box - allow you to run and use 32-bit software in a 64-bit OS.
Waifu2X neural network in the context menu for fast image processing (removing noise and JPEG artifacts).
Built-in Wine for running Windows applications and games (DXGL, DXVK, DXVK Serek, VKD3D).
One-click screenshots - use ctrl / shift / ctrl+shift combinations with PrintScreen to quickly create screenshots.
Image and video conversion utilities via the context menu.
Installer-SH is the main independent method for distributing and installing software on the operating system. This format allows software distribution even on old floppy disks...
Operating system updates are released as independent installation packages.
Dependence on repositories and package managers is gradually being eliminated.
By default, the "Start" menu has a nested structure.

Since development is primarily handled by one person, the distribution has many unfinished parts. Based on MX Linux.
