I know new distros pop up like mushrooms, but this one has a particular angle and level of care that I think might interest many of you — both experienced users and those who want a ready-to-use system.

It's called Odyssey. Void-based, rolling, no systemd. An optimized kernel à la CachyOS, browser running in RAM, a bulletproof supply chain (https://odysseylinux.org/security.html) you can verify yourself, and much moer. https://odysseylinux.org/features.html

Take a look: https://odysseylinux.org/

Stable release lands in early August — the beta is already available. I hope you'll find it interesting.

I'm getting AI slop and security theatre vibes. The cross-signed keys is especially pointless when both are owned by the same person physically. No one will steal just one, they'll steal both.

And its impossible for an end user to verify that the packages are actually clean, there is way too much surface area for a compromised package to be slipped in.
