I'm a long time Arch user. I just got a new laptop and I'm looking to make a clean break from Arch and Systemd, which are both obviously compromised based on their eager capitulation to the new age verification (digital ID) crap being pushed. I am not interested in a philosophical debate, I just want some practical advise from people who have been using Artix for a while. Does it give you issues? Do things break more than on Arch? What are the pros and cons of the various init systems it lets you choose from? Should I consider a different distro altogether? Thank you
>>108673086void or guix. everything else is gay. all users of arch and it's derivatives are notorious shitters and retards. if you feel you fall into that category then you should use artix.
>>108673100Isn't void maintained by trannies? That's a non-starter.
>>108673086Artix is literal dog shit. It is like it was thrown together by some high school kid on the weekend. It's trash. The only Indie distro any white man should use is Void. Everything else is for for women, browns, and trannies.
>>108673110sir(ma'am), you are an arch user. you are a tranny.
>>108673086Artix with openrc, literally no difference from arch aside from installing the -openrc corresponding package needed for the services. Works great
gentoo
>>108673086Not gonna Iie, former Arch user here. This is fucking hilarious watching Arch crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this distro get the nuclear codes.
>>108673120imagine shilling your own distro instead of fixing your shit installer faggot
>>108673120What about it is trash?
>>108673086you should probably stop falling for /g/schizo shitposting and stick with Arch since you know it well. unless you have nothing better to do, in which Artix will require you to forget most of what you know since it's a hacked together mess of an Arch fork and Void will need to you to do a lot of shit you simply took for granted in Arch, but will probably be your best bet if you want to move away. you don't (((CURRENTLY))) have a lot to gain from moving of systemd, and by the time it actually becomes irredeemable dogshit there will hopefully be better options to pick from.
>>108673858I don't regularly use /g/. I'm choosing to move away from Arch and Systemd because I can see their behavior regarding ID verification with my own eyes and it's fucking disgusting.
>>108673872But it isn't an actual problem until the shit starts phoning home.
>>108673880I want to set up my new laptop with the right OS now so I don't have to worry about it later.
>>108673885Good luck with that.
>>108673923Thanks for nothing faggot
What's with all the unashamed shilling happening on this thread? you niggers are reaching le shill lion levels of shill with this shit, should I start calling it le shill distro too?
>>108673925Try Artix+OpenRC, I didn't see any meaningful change I'm my experience from Arch
>>108673872they have made no moves towards age verification and no part of Arch inherently uses systemd-userdb, which is where the "age verification" PR merged into systemd that you have most likely seen. again, stop falling for reactionary /g/ shitposting, you'll be fine.
>>108673949No they just censor any discussion of age verification on the forums and even tell the arch linux subreddit jannies to censor discussion of it. Bro it's fucking obvious which way the wind is blowing. You cannot gaslight me about this. Shut the fuck up and die.
>>108673972they were deleting threads because 9+ different retards were making threads constantly instead of just chiming in on the main megathread, and the screenshot you saw of >the arch linux subreddit jannies to censor discussion of itwas literally because on OP was literally telling people to go after some random contributor and it got blown out of proportion into a witch-hunt. also the subreddit is not even a fucking official channel of discussion for Arch.stop. falling. for. /g/. shitposting. I imagine you saw this either in /g/ or some Lunduke-adjacent post so both count. use your fucking head for once if you're gonna use Linux as a stance against corpo takeover and care about the shit that actually matters.
>>108673086Guix. You can configure your whole system in a file , a scheme program. You can use the module system to duplicate configs for all your similar but slightly different machines. Another file to configure your whole home config. Its the only good Linux distribution. Fact that it uses shepherd is icing on the cake.
>>108673120whats the best distro for niggas?
you can tell this recent wave of anti-arch posts are shills because /g/ has been telling you that systemd was bad for YEARS but only now do people start crying about it?
>>108674163You can tell it's working because Artix's live ISOs come with preinstalled with a browser that opens up their distrowatch page and they've jumped up like 10 positions in the last two months. Just something to notice.
>>108674163No you fucking numskull retard, it's because I haven't personally had any issue with systemd until now, when they've IMMEDIATELY and EAGERLY capitulated to the tyrannical ID verification "laws" by laying the groundwork for ID verification functionality in Linux, starting with an age field being stored in userdb. I fucking hate autistic people because you idiots just say "erm but it's optional right now", completely fucking incapable of seeing the bigger picture.
>>108673299JejDoes CacyOS (what a stupid name, even if it's the name of their old scheduler) has similar globohomo alignments? Thinking to switch.
>>108674238>it's because I haven't personally had any issue with systemd until nowwhat personal issue do you have right now? the problems with systemd have already been present on your system for years, but this age update isn't even on released yet i believe. nothing changed on your computer, but you still choose to start yelling about something
>>108674253I just fucking explained the personal issue I have you dumb fucking autistic nigger. The age field PR was already merged into systemd. Systemd's leadership has signaled that they will comply with this tyrannical shit.
>>108674276calm down. systemd has always been tyrannical by trying to kick out alternative software and merging everything into one big mess. you're just angry because you didn't listen to the schizos 5 years ago
>>108674314And I want to change now. That's why I made the thread dumbass, I'm ready to change. You are extremely unhelpful.
>>108674324you already got your answers in the previous replies, so now it's my turn to hit you with the trvthnvke. don't take it too hard, though
>>108673086>>108673299what's going on with arch? i hadn't heard about this yet.
>>108674238>numskullironic
>>108674631
>>108674640I chuckledyou should still reply to my other post though
>>108674238Your upset over an optional date field which can be populated with any date, or left entiely unfilled, placed in userdb, along other fileds for user information. Without it, software which intends to condict age attestation would just store that information somewhere else on your drive anyway. This change to systemd doesn't actually cange anything in relation to age attestation or verification, apart from maybe changing where other pieces of software stores user information. You're just participating in the mass delusions in relation to the birthDate field because you want to feel upset. I don't feel upset over systemd because I value my time and happiness.
I'm a former arch user, I distro-hopped for a while trying to find something new that I'd like and finally ended up on Gentoo :^). If you're into the DIY aspect of Linux Gentoo might be a good fit fo you
>>108674075see they never reply because there are no arguments over it unless Lunduke gives them some random point to obsess overaside from the regular /g/ retards I'm convinced it's just bots at this point
>>108673120void are BLM supporters you fucking retard
>>108674253>>108674746>erm but it's optional right nowyou retards literally do what he calls you out for right away, fucking kek

>>108673086who has time for arch, fucking hell, i have zero patience, you retards are same ones who buy so called mini keyboards without numpads, seek help, you are all the same, reinstalling arch every month because you accidentally installed an extra package and now your system doesnt boot, make sure to recompile it from binary so its extra extra clean just get ubuntu clowns
>>108674124Guix's code of conduct (image) looks interesting. I keep using Artix.https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/raw/branch/master/CODE-OF-CONDUCT
been daily driving void linucks for three years now, good distro - just werks
>>108675067i will add that it does require some manual intervention to when setting up your desktop, but not much more than a minimal arch install
>>108674746From a threat-modeling perspective, you are profoundly failing to grasp the systemic vulnerability of an "optional" date field. In enterprise security architecture, "optional" is a linguistic zero-day designed to normalize data ingestion; it is a Trojan horse bypassing user consent protocols. Today it is a simple `birthDate` string localized in `userdb`. Tomorrow, the systemd schema will cryptographically bind that temporal anchor to your biometric hash, your genetic lineage, and your financial metadata directly into the PID 1 singleton. You naively believe leaving it "unfilled" provides null-safety. In a zero-trust environment, an empty field is not a defense, it is an undefined attack surface waiting for a future background daemon to silently populate it via a forced OTA update. By centralizing user telemetry directly into the init system, the absolute lowest level of the kernel userspace, systemd is laying the cryptographic groundwork for a universal identity attestation protocol. This change fundamentally alters the threat landscape. It is not just changing where data is stored; it is consolidating the exfiltration pipeline into a homogenous, remotely enumerable mesh. You are participating in the mass delusion of "incrementalism," completely blind to the dependency graph. By the time the public realizes this field is being cross-referenced with `systemd-resolved` DNS logs and `systemd-homed` encrypted vaults for mandatory age verification, the lock-in will be absolute. The architectural coupling will be so deep that migrating the global Linux infrastructure to a non-compromised init system will be mathematically and functionally impossible. I don't just feel "upset" over systemd; I am treating this as a critical severity CVE against the future of digital anonymity. I value my operational security, and I understand that a single optional metadata field in PID 1 is the kill switch for human privacy.
>>108675067Nice to see that you support BLM >>108674885 and you like that your distro is official LGBT supporter >>108675020
>>108675110i dont hate black or gay people, and i certainly dont need software to agree with me politically (lol)
>>108675040>who has time for archyou just use archinstall, install kde/gnome and everything just works though
Why not just use FreeBSD, a coherent operating system instead of the postmodern bricolage that is Loonix?
>>108675020>ESLthe jokes really do write themselves
>>108675252these third world fellas have no idea how much they stick out, its pretty funny.
>>108675252hello fellow ESL

>>108675093zero-trust is fed slang for "haha we backdoored your hardware"
>>108675093I'm sure everyone will switch to Artix and that will somehow win the legal battle. Have fun being a computer revolutionary, I guess. They're just going to accuse you of helping kids watch porn, and you'll basically have just helped them poison the well by doing something entirely ineffectual in regards to the actual problem, which is the legal battle.
>>108675093Like, no matter how hard anyone tries, the most that will be accomplished is that a vocal minority of 3 percent of the desktop computer marketshare will be running an operating system that can no longer connect to most websites.
>>108674746>I value my time and happiness.Then why are you not on Windows? Gotcha!
>>108676098It's not about getting away from age verification. That will be impossible since servers and services will require the token anyway. This is about getting rid of forced systemd and wayland
>>108676098>They're just going to accuse you of helping kids watch pornlaughs in>only having a desktop PC>no chillains living nearby>not even having underage relatives
>>108676227Not, you, in particular, but the computer anarchists who want to fight the heckin system by installing an OS.
>>108676251but anon, I'm also a "computer anarchist" (of the devuan variety)
>>108676259I'm sure the state will enjoy slandering you with ease, as well.
>>108673276Same as this guy. Been using artix with runit for like 5 years and it's indistinguishable from arch. Just gotta install *-runit packages along with any package that includes a system service. Very rarely you'll have to make your own custom service which is not hard but can take a little while if you don't do it often. Sometimes the respective *-runit package will be in the aur
>>108676116Because I don't feel happy using Windows (weird changes with each update, ads, generally not liking the UI, etc), and Windows is slow on my machine. I don't use Windows because I value my time and happiness. If using Windows is faster for you and would make you happier, you should use Windows. For me, installing a Linux OS uses less of my time I would have otherwise spent changing Windows and waiting for basic functionality to load.
>>108674922It's a text field you're upset over. There isn't even the start of a mechnism which restricts your machine from within systemd. You're evading the fact that the existence of that field doesn't actually at all change whether or not software would try to age-gate users. Are you being delibrately obtuse or are you genuinely retarded?
>>108673086Ignore all the shills in the thread OP. Artix is literally Arch but without systemd, so if you're fine with Arch you will also be fine with Artix. I've been using it since last summer on my work laptop and never had a problem. I update it once a month (after reading both Arch and Artix news page) and everything works flawlessly.
>>108675093>Today it is a simple `birthDate` string localized in `userdb`. Tomorrow, the systemd schema will cryptographically bind that temporal anchor to your biometric hash, your genetic lineage, and your financial metadata directly into the PID 1 singleton. Schitzophrenic sepctulation doesn't at all align with anything at all tangable. No one working on systemd could be assed doing any of that. By contrast, userdb already existed and already stored user information. We are talking able one (1) field being added to that.>it is an undefined attack surface waiting for a future background daemon to silently populate it via a forced OTA update.By that definition, every unwritten bit on your drive is an undefined attack surface. Also, we are talking about free and open source software which anyone could modify and compile. There is nothing in the current version of systemd which would force users to migrate to future versions even if those mentally ill spectulations were to actualise (they won't).>It is not just changing where data is stored; it is consolidating the exfiltration pipeline into a homogenous, remotely enumerable mesh. "It's not just X, it's Y" I've been tying in response to AI generated slop, haven't I? The entire post is an AI hallucination.
what distro for a normal person? (not trans, autistic or indian)
>>108673086artix is just arch without systemdyou say you're a long time arch user, don't you remember arch before it switched to systemd?
>>108676716You have to be retarded. There's no other way you could have written that seriously unless you have Down's Syndrome.The point is that maintainers and devs have the power to do whatever they want without any oversight or accountability. They can add or remove anything and the community at large has no say, no recourse, no way to effectively push back other than moving away from corporate shit like systemd and wayland completely
>>108674202Like distrowatch even matters.
>>108675067>daily drivingBack to plebbit faggot
>>108674373The only thing I remember going on recently was that they removed xlibre from their wiki.
>>108676774>"they can change the software they maintain"yes, so? what actual issue exists in the software? software maintainers shouldn't be expected to accomidate your specific mental illness.

>>108676863
>>108676768Yeah, can't you just remove systemd from Arch?
>>108675047Use case for harassing people?
>>108676990Not really. You'd have to actually really know what you're doing, which 99% of /g/ can't even handle a Hello World script. You'd panic your kernel and need a full reinstall. Systemd is like a cancer, once it's in, your best recourse is just to reinstall with a different init.
>>108677251None, but they don't have to tell me like I'm some kind of child. Code of Conducts infantilize the entire community. It's arbitrary nonsense and utterly unnecessary.

>>108675578The Only Real Nigga hereIgnore all the other bots.
>>108677263removing system from any distro is really easy, just fork the repos, disable all systemd flags in the build scripts, replace systemd packages with your init of choice, replace systemd service files, install a systemd-tmpfiles and systemd-sysusers replacement and for stuborn packages that have a hard dependency on systemd just use AI to make patches if you're laz/nocoder. Doing it for Arch is extremely easy since https://archlinux.org/packages/ is so well made and PKGBUILDS are very easy to understand.
>>108673086I also switched for those reasons. I have been using it for a month now and it's just like arch. Except some packages in repos, but you can include the arch ones, which I did. I ran arch with a full local mirror setup so i never have to update, and this works now too. I have problems with nvidia gpus (Thinkpad P52 - P2000 - 580xx-dkms), it will die in suspend. But on my intel uhd all works well, even xlibre.It is sad that arch had to go this way, i do see artix as superior in every way and I should have installed it earlier.
>>108677263>Systemd is like a cancer, once it's in, your best recourse is just to reinstall with a different init.which is why we have artix, devuan and the like
>>108678160And Void
Artix is great Void is also great if you are a gamer and use Nvidia though use Artix.
>>108678299have they blacklisted systemd repo-wide? if they did then they can be added to the list, toogentoo doesn't make the list for this reason
what’s preventing me from just running a older distro of Linux and updating my packages and drivers every once in a while? I don’t really need the newest bing bing wahoo stuff, and there’s people still able to use windows XP/Vista since it just werks(tm) even if they’re 20 years out of date and “compromised”.
>>108678354you're like me, so I'd recommend a slower distro like devuan (new release approx every two years), not a bleeding edge rolling distro like Artix
>>108673086I used Artix for ~1 yr on 3 different laptops no problems.

>>108678354well this might be out of your range, but i run my own system, i wrote a package manager and archived all sources that I need, I only ever update if i see that some software has a good new functionality, otherwise i run vintage software, I still run dwm from ~2012 and my kernel is a few years old. I wrote a web browser mostly from parts, i took firefox' engine for rendering, stripped a lot of junk out and my system works just fine for all these years, yeah i have to manually install everything and add it to my package manager but it's a dream choice. I tried arch linux 2 years ago and it was very slow, on my system i don't even see an init system loading up. If there is another way to do this smoothly I don't recommend it because you will need to manually maintain it, most likely with sources when something fails.
>>108678613Communism != Transgenderism regardless of what you want to be true.Linus is a millionaire, do you really think he wants to become impoverished and have his dick cut off? Seems pretty happy being a toxic male "chud" that you troons have tried to cancel multiple times.
>>108677834> 15675 matching packages found. Page 1 of 157.Why should I supposed to check 15 fucking thousand packages by myself when Artix already did the job?
>>108678087Did you have any benefit of running a local mirror? How much storage do you actually need? My Artix install has ~800 packages, I'd like the idea to maintain the distro by myself.
>>108678613anon, did you know that literally every communist country in history criminalized LGBTQP+ ?
This board is so absolutely fucked. The amount of short sighted retardation defending steps toward the obliteration of anonymity in this thread is truly astounding. Linux distros could start including mandatory government ID scanning and 3D AI face scanning and 3rd party verification by an Israeli company tomorrow, and you faggots would unironically, without a shred of self awareness, say shit like “how does this affect you personally?”How did it get this fucking bad? Is it like this because Valve introduced Linux to gaymers?
>>108679377No, you're just catastrophizing.
>>108679431The US congress is about to pass a bill which makes identity verification legally mandatory for all operating systems. Yeah I’m catastrophizing because we are in the middle of a fucking catastrophe you goddamn retard
>>108679468How do you change that by changing your OS?
>>108679468It's got about 4-5 months before it gets voted on.
>>108679557A few OSes have the balls to not comply with this unconstitutional surveillance. Anything that uses systemd is gonna inherit compliance by default. That’s why I’m changing my OS. It’s very simple to understand, retard.
>>108679608What does that actually solve other than making people liable?
>>108679646We live in a dystopian pedo Jew oligarchy, there is no “solving” this. I’m just interested in circumventing the bullshit as best I can.

I'm not interested in arguing about it either, but for that and the specific issues with Gentoo and Void listed above, I don't really trust your judgement.

>>108680420I'm OP, I made the thread because I'm looking for recommendations myself. I'm leaning toward Artix OpenRC. People are saying that it works well outside of having to substitute a few systemd packages for their OpenRC equivalents, no big deal. The biggest FUD about it seems to be the idea that since it's "protestware", it'll fall into obscurity and stop being maintained, but it's been around for a while so I think it's probably gonna be ok.

>>108680511Real talk. If you're not experienced or adept with Linux you're not going to do well with Artix. Artix is the closest you can get to OG Linux without going LFS, Gentoo or Slack. It's not for noobs.
>>108673086I have artix on both my pc and laptop since 2023, both running dinit, but I have also used runit, no problems with either.I had one update give bad results and I had to switch to an x11 session until they fixed wayland the next day.It "just werks"

>>108673086I don't even use Xlibre, but Arch is supposed to be a pragmatic distribution and yet we have fags polluting Arch Wiki with their propaganda and narrative straight from Red Hat headquarters. I'll give Arch team a few weeks to sort things out and if nothing changes, I'll move to Artix or some another distribution.
>>108680539Not a problem for Artix :^)
>>108680549The Arch team are a bunch of compromised german sissy powertripping jannies. The writing is on the wall.
>>108680549>fags polluting Arch Wiki with their propaganda and narrative straight from Red Hat headquartersYeah a lot of it reads like how Microsoft tries to get you to update from an old version of Windows. Specially with X11/Wayland. But unlike a Microsoft product they can't stop us from keeping it alive.
>>108680527yeah, cause i dont have time for this shitUntil the copros and government fuck everything to the poin, so devuan/artix and others become so popular that gaben will jamp and suck their cock and we will happily have all repos and compatibility.
>>108674640NTA but spelling mistakes while insulting someone's intelligence reflect very poorly on the instigator.
>>108680818My B key is dying, that reflects so poorly on me
>>108677270>None, but they don't have to tell me like I'm some kind of child. Code of Conducts infantilize the entire community. It's arbitrary nonsense and utterly unnecessary.Yeah you've been online before right? Seen how people behave and act the second they aren't in danger of getting their asses kicked for saying and doing certain things?
>>108680843>doesn't own a functioning keyboardKind of yeah
>>108680420it really comes down to whether you like updoooting and rolling releases (artix) or want to stay slow and steady (devuan)gentoo didn't blacklist systemd so it can't be trusted, and the resident void shill refused to answer whether they actually blacklisted systemd or not so I'll take that as a no (rpm based distros are all cucked)

>>108674746>upset over an optional date fieldIt's just the tip
>>108681968Don't bother. Autistic "people" like him are literally incapable of the higher level thought needed to extrapolate like you and I can. They can't see the big picture. They only see what's right in front of them. They have lizard brains.
>>108676753Artix community-gtk
>>108677834>removing system from any distro is really easy>just fork the repos>disable all systemd flags in the build scripts>replace systemd packages with your init of choice>replace systemd service files>install a systemd-tmpfiles and systemd-sysusers replacement>for stuborn packages that have a hard dependency on systemd just use AI to make patchesso, what's your definition of hard?
>>108673100artix is ideological solidity (EXPLICITLY non-pozzed) mixed with the arch/pacman platform which makes it an excellent choice for advanced desktop usersalso the distro founder told trannies to fuck off his project and refused to bend the knee to the age verification psyop
>>108675047>casteoh my god you can't be for real>>108675093this, today it's an optional userdb field. tomorrow it will be a special dbus signal mandated by the powers that be and you just know poettering will comply without questioni had enough with play integrity killing the android custom rom scene, i don't need it killing the desktop linux community which is the last refuge from digital clownworld
>>108682517I tried installing this broken pile of dogshit. It was and is trash
>>108681072>keeps worn items so they can be repaired instead of replacedI think that's smart
>>108682517>refused to bend the knee to the age verification psyopSo did Void.
>>108682989Void used the weasel wordy phrasing of "we have no plans at this time". Artix said "We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user".I can only speak for myself here, but I know which one inspires more confidence, and it's not even close.
>>108682667skill issue, practice in a vm or go back to windows/ubuntu. i said it's for advanced users. i'm running it as my main OS on a 2024 midrange laptop and i have all the functionality
>>108682989void is ran by trannies which are inherently left-wing and pro-establishment and they didn't explicitly denounce it, unlike artix. with artix i have the certainty the project won't be compromised unless an industry plant is installed or the author is mysteriously found dead
>>108683034true, truebut age verification is dead-naming for the trans-aged and therefore incompatible with left-wing diehards
>>108683034>void is ran by tranniesProof or it didn't happen
>>108674132Arch, same as everyone.
