tl;dr: AI-repackaged void linux with security theater window dressing. Just use void linux.

I read the "Why Odyssey" section, and the dev talks about wanting anonymity, then goes on to say that they accept donations on Patreon. I assume they also have that domain registered under their name. And while you say it's a "team," that section sounds like it's a lone dev with patrons; that does not instill confidence in the long-term viability of the project.

On top of that, they sound like an edgelord (probably young). They talk about "no telemetry," but then that means no Steam, no internet browsing, and certainly no taking payments from strangers.

And if that wasn't enough, they hit us with this gem:

Artificial intelligence is an unavoidable tool, powerful and extremely useful, and it will shape the future of our species for the next thousand years. So yes, I use it, and I use it as an intelligent human being and, above all, a conscious one.

Unavoidable? Fuck right off. There isn't some employer holding your paycheck hostage in return for "seeing what you can do with it." The data consistently shows that it makes us dumber, and acting like it is inevitable (which I think is what they actually mean) is one of the most brain dead takes people say when pushing AI. They are choosing to use AI, and even if it's local, the core functionality was built upon the mass theft of people's work.

They do go on to say that they have an issue with who controls AI, which I agree with, but unless they built their own ML algorithm from the ground up or use one that wasn't built with venture capital, they're just reinforcing the same capitalist system that is ruining everyone's future for the benefit of a few.

Overall, I think this is a very young person with a desire to do something good but who is ultimately naive. Coupled with the fact that they use AI without restraint, I expect this project to eventually flounder.

It looks like to me that this distro is just a beginner friendly version of void.

Someone mentioned that this looks like a beginner-friendly version of Void. I've been using Void for a few months now and calling me an intermediate user would be a bit of a stretch. Void is very easy to use, mostly because it rarely breaks or crashes. You almost never have to pop the hood, and anything can be searched online. I think a user would be better off using Void, but do what you want.

"unix for human beings. no systemd" my brother in christ most humans, unix users and all, don't know or care what systemd is. This is a distro for a tiny number of hypernerds.

I don't know about this, but I did try brgvOS that is an easy to setup void linux also

idk seems weird but maybe good

comments on ai are concerning and the person seems like an edgelord

Sounds like the distro is kinda of a clown show (see this comment: https://reddthat.com/comment/28643289), but it is really nice to see derivative distros coming off of Void. To me, it's a sign that Void is gaining more relevance in the community which is great because I really think it's the best distro out there these days.
