  2. A quotation from Homer

                                                                I have no stomach
    to repeat a long story that has already been plainly told.
     
                                  [Ἐχθρὸν δέ μοί ἐστιν
    αὖτις ἀριζήλως εἰρημένα μυθολογεύειν.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 12, l. 452ff (12.452-453) [Odysseus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Verity (2016)]

  3. A fairly notorious #Linux YouTuber decided to leave YouTube by dropping a distro: #Odyssey Linux.

    All slop aside, this distro, unlike Omarchy, is an actually interesting concept, as far as I can glance from the trailer.

    It obviously started as an attempt to make a Void derivative that would court newbies like Mint and CachyOS does, but it already goes in some novel directions, such as the bold decision to make some sort of GUI for just about anything in system administration, even the reproducible package checker!

    Even when I was just starting to use Mint, I appreciated their decision to have the updater reveal actual outputs instead of just hiding everything under a loading wheel and/or loading bar where shown percents are more equal than others! It's refreshing to see an entire GUI control panel designed in mind to not patronize the user: choosing to click buttons - and I am saying this as a keyboard fan - doesn't have to mean you necessarily deserve less to have power over your own system.

    Also, more security pretty much from the get-go. Huge credit for taking some bits of inspiration from GrapheneOS, Qubes and Secureblue, as well as Alpine! Running by default Zen in the RAM? Running the entire OS in diskless mode if you want to? All these architectural choices surely weren't vibed over a weekend.

    Due to its developer's "apolitical" stance combined with the whole "Odyssey" and "Argonauts" schtick (sorry, but in 2026 one just can't innocently invoke Greek-Roman culture as if it can't be interpreted as a specific stance in the current-day culture wars), not to mention endorsing Hyprland (unlike Void), Odyssey Linux will no doubt attract in record time a toxic community - it's a pity though if other distros won't take cues from its more innovative ideas.
