61 – Odyssey
Notas del episodio
In episode 61, Dale flies solo while Majid is away and shares a month of Linux tinkering—starting with an unsuccessful attempt to install PicaOS on a Dell Inspiron 13. He also highlights useful discoveries, including LuckyLUKS for quickly opening encrypted containers, XFCE’s Docklike Taskbar, and positive early impressions of the Liquorix kernel on MX Linux.
The main review focuses on Odyssey Linux, a new Void-based rolling-release distribution that aims to make Void more approachable. Dale finds its installer, polished welcome screen, GUI package manager, service-management tools, and Control Center impressive for a first release, while noting a few quirks in defaults, window controls, browser syncing, and XFCE configuration. Overall, Odyssey Linux earns a positive recommendation for users who want Void’s performance and flexibility with less reliance on the command line.
