Overkill Linux was formerly known as Linux Megamix. The project was evolved and renamed due to several critical factors that demanded a complete architectural overhaul.
The original debian-installer and squashfs copy mechanism caused reliability problems during installation.
The old system lacked a graphical management tool, requiring manual configuration.
Maintaining separate ISO images for each edition was unsustainable; the new single-ISO approach with post-install edition selection greatly reduces maintenance burden.
The old system did not support combining editions; the new Mix system allows combining Developer + Gaming, Developer + AI, and other combinations.
