Artix Linux Description

Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution derived from Arch Linux, emphasizing the use of real init systems because PID1 should prioritize simplicity, security, and stability. Users have the flexibility to install various init systems such as openrc, runit, s6, suite66, or dinit from any available ISO. The installation process can be carried out either via the console or through a graphical user interface. Presently, Artix offers three types of installation media: base, graphical, and community editions. For those who may not have extensive Linux experience, it is advisable to opt for a community edition. The base installation can be initiated from any ISO, which is particularly advantageous for users encountering difficulties with wireless network cards or those requiring an active graphical environment during setup. Moreover, users have the option to select a different init system than the one provided by the installation medium. The base ISOs are tailored for a fully customizable installation and are designed to be utilized in a TTY, making them suitable for advanced users who are comfortable with the intricacies of Linux systems. Ultimately, Artix Linux caters to a diverse range of users, from novices to experts, by providing multiple pathways for installation and configuration.

    Artix is cool and so is Arch Linux. Artix is not systemd, Arch Linux is systemd

    Date: Sep 01 2023

    Summary: Both Arch Linux and Artix are supported well.
    Both work as intended for my purposes.
    I am recommending users of Artix use dinit as init system but that is up to you.
    Enjoy.

    Positive: Artix is a powerful well documented system working without systemd.
    Arch Linux and Linux in general defaults to systemd.
    Artix works and though my experience is limited to oS6 and dinit as init systems.
    i highly recommend installing Artix with the dinit system. it just works.

    Negative: None that i know of.
    Caveat... i use Windows 11 regularly.
    I use Linux distributions like Arch Linux and Artix more as a hobby and some specialized uses.
