I got Chimera installed on the loongarch mini-PC. Installation was very smooth, basically identical to an x86_64 install. I also installed GNOME, but gnome-shell is unstable. I can log in and poke around for a brief amount of time, but then it crashes and I'm back at the login screen. Looks like I have my first project there.
