Analogy

The analogy is quite simple.

Over the course of getting to know Linux and during my career as a student, I had to reinstall my OS SO so so many times, either because I bricked my previous install, or because things weren't working the way I wanted them to or even because I found the current install to be cluttered. On a particular day, I had installed Arch over ten times, which is my personal record of most-installed-computers-in-one-day so far. I also managed to speedrun the installation process to 8min30sec for the kernel with an additional 4min30sec for installing Sway (fun fact/did you know?).

Discovering Linux was a tedious process and I had to start over several times, hence the analogy with Sisyphus, greek mythology.

But also because it sounds cool and it has the sys from sytem in the name, don't tell anyone this though.
