Artix Linux Description

Artix Linux is a rolling release distribution that is based on Arch Linux. Because PID1 must be simple and secure, it uses real init systems. Any init system (openrc. runit. s6, suite66. or dinit) can be installed from any ISO. Artix can be installed via the console or via the GUI installer. Artix currently offers three types of installation media: base, graphical, or community. A community edition is recommended if you don't know much about Linux. You can perform the base installation from any ISO. This is useful for people who have difficulty getting their wireless network cards working or need an active graphical environment to install them. You can also install an init system that is different from the one installed. Base ISOs can be customized to install the system in a TTY. This is for experienced users only.

    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.
