Research direction
Start with the OS database and detection path used by the hw-probe command, then compare how Chimera Linux and ChimeraOS are identified. Update the relevant OS entry so Chimera Linux is distinguished correctly, and verify the linked probe is no longer classified as ChimeraOS.

Description
Ran the hw-probe command via podman on my Thinkpad Edge E540 and it seems that Chimera Linux is not in the OS database yet, so devices running Chimera Linux are falsely listed as ChimeraOS.
My probe with the false OS detection:
