>yet another fartix thread
just why?

>>108723224
Artix would be fine if they had their own shit, rather than piggybacking off of Arch. Not a real distro.

>>108723224
The real problem with Artix is the lack of testing. A lot of very annoying bugs go seemingly unnoticed for weeks before an update is rolled. They're probably still on Xlibre 25.0.0 with the squished cursors, dinit installations still use some place in /etc/ as the default working directory, their KDE ISO prob has no time server or networking ootb and you have to enable shit yourself... it's just a worse experience overall

Can it play games?

>>108723224
I'm planning to install Artix for the first time today. Going to go with dinit, Xlibre, i3, Limine, and ext4.

>>108723369
Whole point is to be everything good from Arch without anything bad from Arch.

>>108723472
All the bugs are always just users not reading documentation, updating wrong or literally breaking things by using it wrong. Even your problems were 100% you preferring something else and crying about you having to enable/install something.

>>108723510
Of course.

>>108723516
Ok

I bit the Artix bullet and cannot tell any difference with the arch experience

>>108723642
>Even your problems were 100% you preferring something else and crying about you having to enable/install something
The most normie non-tinkertard default install ever, KDE with dinit on bare metal off of their stable KDE ISO had all of those problems from the get go. All I'm saying is they should test the systems their images end up installing for a minute or two before calling it good.

>>108723516
I messed around with dinit and I liked it quite a bit. Feels sleek compared to Systembloat.

>>108723825
They know it is like that because that is set like that. Maybe check before you download something and install. You are the people who installs Ubuntu and cry about snaps.

>The all-knowing artix maintainers
lol, if systemd start's phoning home I guess I'll switch to guix, gentoo, void, maybe nixos with liberated-systemd (the french will probably be working on it, by then) and pin all my packages to the version that works w/ liberated.

>based and dependent on arch

no thanks.

>>108723224

hence all the kvetching ITT already

The main problem with Artix is that is it overtly "chud" meaning it's either managed by retards with no decorum, or it's a honeypot of some sort. Same thing with Xlibre.
>>108723984
If you need "Arch benefits" you are a retard. Uou are better off using Gentoo, Void, Slackware, CRUX, or literally anything else.

This, I can see a bit of value on being able to test more inits, but its all half assed and theres no synthesis. Want openrc? Gentoo or Alpine. Want runit? Void. dinit? Chimera. sysv? Slack.

Parabola is just Arch so I can have all that and more in Artix (just import repos and change if some package has systemd dependency).

Sure, Slackware and Crux are good. Artix is just all the good from Arch, Slackware, Crux but without bad things from those three. I continue using Artix that is only distro in the whole world which is not anything bad, has everything anyone needs in any distro and is also {based}, has xlibre, has dinit, no politics, too difficult for non-tech-savvy normies here but really comfy and easy compared to Gentoo (official trans distro) and Artix doesn't have any void tier propaganda, no nixos tier lgbt forums etc. Artix is perfect. It is all {based}ness merged with "just works" and only thing even 4chan could do during years and years of shit talking was to meme "fartix" and cry about how stupid and tech illiterate they are. That's it.

>>108725224
k. Arch "just works" better, and >>108724134 is a thing, and Xlibre has a wiki on their github page, so....

Why are i3 and xlibre bluepilled? I've been using Openbox and X11, figured I'd try something a little different.

>>108723224
I have an Artix ISO in case shit hits the fan with the age verification stuff. I might try to make an arch non systemd cinnamon xlibre abomination with it if it's that easy.

I have artix on two laptops and a desktop. I also use it in some vms that need bleeding edge kernels.
It gets out of your way. You get the AUR for premade pkgbuilds and very few packages are uninstallable with systemd requirements. Usually a *-git is available for those or you can edit the pkgbuild yourself to ignore the requirement. I use apt-cacher-ng on a server for artix and arch repos so updates are at line speed.
Building runit services takes seconds and I don't need to daemon-reload every time I make a minor edit. Logging just makes sense in /var/log and I don't have to deal with journal bullshit.
The only thing I wish they'd do is keep a zfs-kernel active. I get why they don't but I'd be more comfortable booting from zfs with zfsbootmenu if I didn't have to manually check supported kernel versions. It would also fit with their "function over politics" theme they've got going on.

>>108723224
Has anyone successfully migrated from EndeavourOS to Artix?

>and Xlibre has a wiki on their github page, so....
Uh yeah I'm sure it's about that and not because someone connected to RH had panic attack and in fit of rage deleted that wiki page. Arch guys should change that fragment about pragmatism and being apolitical from their side because no matter how many times they redesign the "display servers" page it will not change the fact that they betrayed their own users.

Reminder that every install or mention of Artix IS CAUSING HARM!
Each one pushes another transistor closer to the point of popping!

>>108723224
I used it for two years. I loved it, but too much software I depend on relies on basedstemD.

I swapped from Arch to Artix over a week ago so far it's pretty much the same experience, I am a gamer and all my games work perfectly.

Only issues I've had are not being able to use programs that rely on systemd there are not many and honestly fuck using them in principle and there are usually workarounds.

I am a noob and it was easy for me to get everything running even in Nvidia, I installed the KDE community version it comes with xlibre and Wayland and basically just works for Nvidia I had to do a small amount of messing about but nothing that a quick search or AI prompt can't help with.

If you are thinking of using Artix I recommend it.

I'm currently on fedora, but I'm thinking of switching to either artix or void because I'm sick of gnome and systemd. Any advice?

>>108723224
>A breakdown of Artix
That's a statement of fact.

>>108729974
Download community version of Artix or xfce version of void for ease of use. If you are a gamer use Artix it has much more resources for gaming same if you use Nvidia.

>>108723224
I'm switching back to plain Arch
I do recognize I'm being slowly boiled by using systemd but unfortunately there's some work I need to do which require apps that depend on it for some stupid reason
The fap machine stays on Artix tho

>>108729987
KDE on void is nice if you want a GUI for a lot of the settings. It doesn't come with everything, so you'll have to install the modules you need (like power management).

>>108729987
Should I be worried about using a systemd-less distro? Will stuff like power-profiles-daemon work? Is the hassle worth it in the end?

>>108729974
>fell for the meme award

What's the problem?

>>108730066
I'm a noob myself most things work as usual only two programs I have had issues with as they rely on systemd.

For the most part you will be okay unless you need to use something specific that uses systemd.

Artix is much easier to get into than Void as pretty much everything is done for you in the community versions and you have a lot more packages than on Void.

But if you like minimalism more Void is the way to go.

>>108730175
>only two programs I have had issues with as they rely on systemd.

If an Arch wiki page ask you to activate a systemd service, just activate it with your init script instead. If it is not found, just search <packagename>-<initname> on the packages and install it, then activate it.
Usually the service name is the same as systemd, or if not, add "d" at the end of it like networkmanagerd
Artix also has its own wiki pages, though not as extensive as Arch's

I've been heavily considering Artix to install on my new Panasonic Let's Note japtop. I'm torn between this and Gentoo. I don't care about compile times so what's a good argument to use this over Gentoo?

There's a special synaptic driver to enable circular scrolling but it only functions on xorg. Since Artix ships with xlibre ootb I'm assuming it would work.

>>108723369
No idea what you mean by this. They literally have their own repositories.

>>108730659
Believe it or not I have this exact model. I generally prefer Gentoo over Artix by a huge margin - but I don't run it on this laptop, just my desktop. I can tell you Devuan worked great though.

One was the proton VPN app but it's a super easy fix and the other was when trying to run a ea game in steam that required the EA app and I had previously ran it on normal arch but for some reason no matter what I did (and I did pretty much everything you could do to fix it) it wouldn't run and I was king asking ai to guide me and eventually it just said it may require systemd but desu it's a windows app and it also sucks and ruins games on actual windows so fuck it.
