styx-os

computing like it's meant to be

styx will be a consent-first, usability-oriented operating system, with a Linux® kernel, and a distribution of self-contained application packages.

 

We just want you to be able to use the computer without fighting it. That's all.

also:

This is perhaps the most important point to cover, because it informs every step of every process we do to produce, promote and develop styx.

We don't force choices on the user to further our own goals, because not doing so is Goal One. Everything else is secondary to this.

The consent and autonomy of an installing user over their system, SHALL NOT be infringed.

styx is a consent-first operating system.
Why? Because those don't exist, in a meaningful way; and it is necessary to enter the field with this rule in mind, lest earlier decisions be used as justification to erode this fact.

(This is going to be a long post, just a heads up.)
