A Void derivative built to be easy to use, fast, and secure by default. No systemd, no telemetry, nothing you have to assemble yourself before it works.
Odyssey Linux is a derivative of Void Linux. It uses Calamares for installation and graphical interfaces for the things that usually send you back to the terminal: the package manager and the system services, with runit as PID 1.
At the centre sits the Control Center, which gives you advanced graphical control over the system: boot, kernel, memory and ZRAM, firewall and AppArmor, private search over Tor, containers and gaming mode.
Around 2000 packages are being rebuilt with x86-64-v3 optimizations, a BOLT stack, and an extra layer of security hardening. They already run in Shipwreck, the experimental channel, and they land in the stable tree as they clear testing. The kernel is our own, tuned with the BORE scheduler.
To know who is behind it, read why and the values. To see the people who make it happen, go to community.
An interview with nobody. Why this exists, and who is answering.
The eight rules this system is built against, in plain words.
The Argonauts. The people who keep this thing in the air.
