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.

 

 

Use of other names and brands is not intended to reflect a claim of, or right to, use the name or brand.
styx is an operating system using the Linux kernel and components, and any use of "styx Linux" as a phrase does not reflect the inclusion of the Linux brand or trademark in the styx project.
Linux® is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.

september update: we've got one of those little 88x31 buttons!

styx 88x31 button gif, with the styx logo, "Computing like it's meant to be", "Join in! styx-os.org"

(I think we're the first OS in twenty years to use one! I know Debian did, at least.)

we also fixed the font rendering issues on the website, by replacing Atkinson Hyperlegible (the cohost font) with plain sans-serif.

also in the pipeline:

  • a draft post outlining "styx enhancement proposals". this wasn't actually going to get very far before the website closes out, so I figure I'll post what I got so far
  • a new, more lightweight blog and frontend for styx-os.org - should be ready by the 1st
  • the new styx systems tool, codenamed 'hydra' - keep an eye out, it's a big 'un!

minor end-of-cohost update: our new blog is set up!

https://blog.styx-os.org/ is live!

I'll also be opening our discord server to a wider audience.
When joining, if you're missing access to channels, be patient while one of our team tags you in.
If that link is broken, check our blog for an update post.

Finally, our fork of Phorge, hydra is well underway.
This will be the primary tooling and interface for managing styx packages, and will be made a bit more user-friendly in the future. (e.g., where it says "Real Name" right now, pretend that's a "Display Name". I have a patch in the works to make that semantics take place.)

You can also reach @sirocyl elsewhere for more information, questions, so on.

[DRAFT, Non-Normative] StEP 0. The styx standardization process.

This is a draft document outlining some of my thought process going into the styx standards track. Some of this MAY be adopted in the future or revisited, revised or eliminated as we identify changes to be made with this procedure and proposal.

🚧⚠️ There are empty headings with no text, there are unfinished sentences and paragraphs, and even a Trivia section. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Nothing here is normative, formative or declared as standard to the styx project, its stewardship or leadership, as of the current date of printing.

A future proposal and document may follow that contains all or part of this document.
