## Description

Chimera provides a browser dashboard for controlling Steam on Linux gaming computers from another device. You can add games from the GOG, Epic, and Flathub stores, import ROM files for more than twenty classic consoles with emulators already configured, and synchronize that collection across several systems on your LAN. The panel gives one-click access to volume, performance overlays, emulator save states, Steam restarts, and power commands. It also bundles an FTP server and a page for managing SSH public keys. Deployment options include the Arch User Repository, the ChimeraOS distribution where it ships by default, or a Docker image on any host. The service listens on TCP 8844 and uses either a one-time code shown on the host screen or a permanent password you define.
