A New Way to Use Your Computer
For a long time, we’ve only really had two choices: Windows or Mac. But lately, things have changed. Computers have started feeling more like billboards, filled with ads and constant tracking.
There is a third option that has been quietly getting better every year: Linux. If you are looking for a computer that belongs to you—not a corporation—Linux might be exactly what you need.
What exactly is a “Distro”?
You might hear people talk about “Linux,” but what you actually install is called a Distribution (or “Distro” for short).
Think of Linux as the engine of a car. A “Distro” is the rest of the car—the seats, the dashboard, and the paint job. While there are hundreds of options, almost all of them belong to one of three main families:
-
Debian: The “Reliable” family. It’s built to be rock-solid and rarely crashes. This is the family Stygian OS belongs to.
-
Fedora: The “Cutting Edge” family. It’s usually the first to get brand-new features.
-
Arch: The “DIY” family. It’s built for people who want to customize every single bolt and screw themselves.
Why make the switch?
Switching to a Linux-based system like Stygian OS feels like a breath of fresh air for three main reasons:
1. No Advertising Tired of seeing “promoted apps” in your Start Menu or ads for cloud storage popping up while you work? Linux doesn’t have an ad department. It’s a tool for you to use, not a place for companies to sell to you.
2. Your Privacy is Yours Windows often collects data on how you use your computer—what you click, what you search for, and where you go. Linux doesn’t “phone home.” It stays on your machine, giving you genuine peace of mind.
3. It’s Fast and Lightweight Modern computers often feel slow because the operating system is busy running things you don’t need in the background. Stygian OS is stripped down to the essentials. This makes new computers feel incredibly snappy and can make an old laptop feel brand new again.
Take Back Control
Switching to Linux isn’t just for tech experts anymore; it’s for anyone tired of being treated like a product. Whether you want to escape forced tracking, delete the ads, or simply keep your current computer running fast for years to come, the choice is finally yours.
The era of the “Windows Lock” is ending. It’s time to own your computer again.
