Artix Linux Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Introduction

  I was looking for a minimal linux distribution that is light on resources, and I found one called Metis Linux, which is based on Artix. The interesting part of metis is that it wasn't using a desktop environment, but a windows manager called dwm. At the time, metis linux had a minimal bash script installer via chroot. This took longer to setup, but I had a better understanding of what the setup involved rather... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• goodbye inbox

  I went to https://artixlinux.org/ just to see their website. And in true "Arch fork" fashion, their SSL certificate is expired and their website is broken. So I can't see their development team, but it's probably a tiny group of hobbyists as usual with these hipster distros. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there good reasons to not use Alpine as daily driver?

  No, and Arch is also a good alternative provided one is okay with systemd. If not, there are alternatives like Artix Linux. Source: over 1 year ago

• Bare bone distro that i can custumize has i want for old pc ish?

  Lately I have been playing with herbstluftwm on Artix with dinit, and I dig it. The way it behaves is quite a bit different from other window managers I have used in the past, and it did take some getting used to at first, but after experimenting with the config for a couple days I ended up with a pretty deadly and very intuitive setup that - despite running on X11 - "feels" more like a proper battlestation for...

• Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?

  Gentoo could provide an easy way to learn about init systems other than systemd. But in practice, coming from Arch, Artix is probably a better choice for most of the alternatives except for OpenRC (Gentoo or Alpine is better for that) and the traditional LSB init.d setup (where Devuan is really the only practical option anymore). I’m specifically mentioning Artix here because it is Arch, just with proper support... Source: over 1 year ago

• Systemd 252 Released

  I have long been an advocate against systemd for the typical reasons (overreaching responsibilities, lock-in, lack of choice, software assumption "it will be there", complexity, driven by large corporate interests [see lock-in], being modeled after launched, etc etc). I feel like the chickens are coming home to roost. That said, if one wants to use it, then use it. However, there are alternatives which I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• systemctl vs poweroff vs loginctl vs shutdown

  Just for clarity, and for other people to know, Artix doesn't use systemd like u/aioeu said. It's an arch based distro that "uses real init systems, because PID1 must be simple, secure and stable" (~ https://artixlinux.org/). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there a distro without flatpack, snaps, or systemd ?

  I use Artix, which is rolling release (based on Arch). You can mostly install what you want, and the distribution won't decide you need something else. I'm pretty happy with it. https://artixlinux.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any Arch based distro for KDE ? (similar to Manjaro but not Arch)

  Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux. Source: over 1 year ago

• Running systemd in WSL2 with genie

  You might want to consider Artix Linux. It's Arch-based, but it provides 4 alternative init/process supervisors, most of which can run without being PID1 (Systemd's big limitation, as it relates to WSL). Source: over 1 year ago

• I’m a little bored of Arch, anyone have suggestions of similar distros
