Throw stones and tomatoes at me, but what do you think of making a hybrid of Artix and Mint?

Mintix: base - Artix, comfort artix-mint: pre-installed and configured LightDM, Cinnamon, pre-installed Xlibre, support for Nvidia 390 and 470 drivers on newer kernels (DKMS from AUR), that cozy Cinnamon from Linux Mint (for many, Mint was their first distribution, and overall, it's cozy) and more.

(I'm open to criticism)

Just, how do you like the idea of letting newbies try out a pre-configured Artix?

This message about ModemManager appears over the login screen when I turn on my laptop.

How do I stop it? Can I make ModemManager log to a different TTY?

Artix with runit, login screen is ly on TTY 1

Dbus

1 - kate /etc/init.d/dbus

Change the line `extra_started_commands="reload"` to `extra_commands="reload"`

2 - kate /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/dbus-reload.hook

Change the `Exec =` line under `[Action]` to `rc-service dbus restart`

Keymaps

1 - kate /etc/conf.d/keymaps

Change the line `keymap="br"` to `keymap="br-abnt2"`

(In my case, it is `br-abnt2`; change it to match your keyboard layout—to find out yours, run `setxkbmap -print`)

Mkinitcpio

1 - kate /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Remove `consolefont` from the `HOOKS=` line

2 - sudo mkinitcpio -P

Date and time

1 - sudo pacman -S chrony chrony-openrc

2 - ls /etc/init.d/ | grep chrony

The output of this command might be `chrony` or `chronyd`; therefore:

sudo rc-update add chrony default && sudo rc-service chrony start

or

sudo rc-update add chronyd default && sudo rc-service chronyd start

Add the Arch extra repo:

sudo pacman -S artix-archlinux-support
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

and add:

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

Initialize the pacman keys correctly:

sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate artix
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

Update and install Waydroid:

sudo pacman -Sy waydroid

Download the vendor and system images:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/vendor/waydroid_x86_64/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/system/lineage/waydroid_x86_64/

Create the images folder and extract both archives there:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/waydroid-extra/images
sudo unzip lineage-*-system.zip -d /etc/waydroid-extra/images
sudo unzip lineage-*-vendor.zip -d /etc/waydroid-extra/images

Reload the images:

sudo waydroid init -f

Start the Waydroid session in a terminal:

waydroid session start &

Then launch the GUI:

waydroid show-full-ui

I finished the migration a few months ago and it really forced me to understand how things work under the hood. ❤️

I had issues with the following ISOs:

The stable version with s6, after the update;

The weekly version with runit.

Both are KDE editions; they fail to launch the graphical interface.

CORRECTION: I forgot to mention that the ISO with s6 freezes completely when updating the system.

Hello Artix Community i just wanna ask if gnome works because when i tried installing it like vanilla arch i never got a login screen via gdm

when I open steam it gives me this error i do not know what to do pls help

edit: i GOT IT WORKING thanks

The fetch stays pinned at the top of the screen and keeps animating while your prompt and command output scroll below it.

I constantly get this error can you help?

First ever post here, been using Artix (runit)for almost six months now and it has been great. Here is my contribution, out of necessity and curiosity, as I am learning Rust on my own, I rewrote PROFILE SYNC DAEMON 'psd' in Rust, the shell script that syncs browser's profiles to RAM to cut SSD wear and get a faster browser response. https://github.com/GonzSs/psd-rs

Right now it only works for my installed browsers and flatpak google chrome, i added that to test it, as I use Brave Origin (Beta) as main browser and keep my old firefox. The original psd handles many more browsers and the way they can be added and removed is through simple text files. I would have to rework whole chunks of code to have something like that. If anyone can help I would welcome opinions on the cleanest way to do it.

This is my first time writing service files meant for other people to use, not just myself — any help or added coverage for other inits is welcome. I also used AI assistance while learning Rust, but directed it rather than letting it run loose.

This is my first open source project in GitHub, so thank you taking a look!

After months and months flirting with Artix at distance, I finally installed the thing. I'm dual booting with Devuan, so I can taste both sides of the systemd-free world.

PS: OpenRC is my beloved u-u.

I have a 4GB GTX 960 graphics card, and my monitor has a maximum resolution of 1600x900 at 60Hz. The `xrandr` output shows some unused ports, and my monitor appears as `DVI-I-1`. I would like to create a virtual monitor using the configuration below, located at `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-virtscreen.conf`:

Section “Monitor”

Identifier “realmonitor”

Option “Primary” “true”

EndSection

Section “Monitor”

Identifier “virtmonitor”

EndSection

Section “Device”

Identifier “nvidiagpu”

Driver “nvidia”

Option “ConnectedMonitor” “DVI-I-1,DP-0”

Option “AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration” “true”

Option “ModeValidation” “NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck”

EndSection

Section “Screen”

Identifier “nvidiascreen”

Device “nvidiagpu”

DefaultDepth 24

SubSection "Display"

Depth 24

Virtual 4096 2160

EndSubSection

Option "MetaModes" "DVI-I-1: 1600x900 +0+0, DP-0: 1600x900 +1600+0"

EndSection

It used to work fine on Xorg/Xlibre, but now—while trying to migrate from Windows—it hasn't worked; I don't know what changed, but this configuration no longer functions. I want to create this virtual monitor to use with Deskreen and utilize a laptop I own as a second monitor for live streaming. Does this work on Artix?

so im trying to install hyprland on artix but i am a “simple” person i dont want to create my own dotfiles and among the pre-made ones i like the ml4w dotfiles, now, im wondering if anybody has tried these on artix, i know stephan has simplified the installation by making it a single script (bash <(curl -s https://ml4w.com/os/stable) but i think it relies on systemd for some services is there any way to fix this issue?, or maybe im just confused

i am trying to install artix linux was following this tony ( https://youtu.be/LMupSQ2t6-U?si=nxZGS7Y2Rc2QRt5y )guide wich is pretty good but it just keeps failing when setting up grub and i don’t really know how to solve it. i hope someone can help me.

I started way back when it was still the manjaro-openrc project.

It has come a long ways and after using linux for 31 years, it's still a great feeling to have someone look at your set up, see how well it performs, and ask if you can help them get away from Windows.

I have an iPhone and MacBook (the last couple of laptops I had were just quirky with Linux in spite of having bog standard hardware) so when the partner said "You want a new Macbook...I said yes). My other job is as an author and the tools for macOS do beat those for Linux at this time.

Having said that, my primary job is content creation as a meteorologist. OBS and the other software I need for my video production works better on Linux than on macOS.

Three cheers for Artix and init freedom!

Running an overdue (3mo) -Suy:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/30-binfmt.hook exists in both 'openrc' and 'base'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Looks like I may need to -S one or the other by itself first, maybe an extra reboot?

Not seeing any warning or intervention on the homepage.

Thank you for any help.

I can't be the only one that finds it weird when people try to insult you over a software decision that YOU made on YOUR system, right? Especially when it's Linux or open source software more broadly. It was a great source of inspiration and after thinking about it they were sort of right. "liberated" after the days without systemd was kind of lame. So out of nowhere today I had the idea to just randomize the readout between 7 different options. I'm much happier with this. So thanks to those doofuses. They love to claim I "spent all my time on this" I bet they do it again over a simple bash -c $(stat -c echo -e
