Why did you pick and use Artix? Which init are you using and why?

So I just got artix and I already have a bunch of problems

First of all I can't enable networkmanager

Second of all I can't install any other DE than XFCE

And lastly I can't run sober it says something along the lines of opengl drivers

Also I wanted to go to archcraft and when I made a bootable usb with sudo dd I booted into the usb and it just brought me to artix

Extra note I use runit

Occasionally I read about how you need to install few things and change few settings in linux to have bare base security that everybody using linux should have.

I remember reading that you need to install firewall that is not there in default for example.

What would you say are the things every user have to make, to be secure on the base level?

Which do you recommend? Are there differences?

I also posted this on the Artix forums, but I'll post it here as well.

I have tried a variety of ways to set up my dbus session bus, but it always falls back to /tmp instead of creating it in my XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

I'm trying to keep my system lean so I'm using runit, xlibre, seatd, and bspwm/sxhkd. I'm using pam_rundir to create my XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. 'echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR' shows that it does work.

I would like for dbus to be in my XDG_RUNTIME_DIR just for ease of use when running scripts as root.

I just accidentally deleted my /etc/runlevels and havent restarted the system yet. What can i do to fix this so i can reboot or do i just back up all i can and start for the best

This only applies to Free version. For Studio, you will need to use the AUR. So, the way to get the free Resolve installed and working without AUR is by using CachyOS repos.

CachyOS packs Davinci Resolve (free version), and you only need to add the CachyOS key and repo information

sudo pacman -U 'https://mirror.cachyos.org/repo/x86_64/cachyos/cachyos-keyring-20240331-1-any.pkg.tar.zst' \'https://mirror.cachyos.org/repo/x86_64/cachyos/cachyos-mirrorlist-27-1-any.pkg.tar.zst'

This should do the trick.

Then add the repo to your pacman.conf

[cachyos]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-mirrorlist

However, bear in mind that you need to keep CachyOS repo bellow Artix main repos, otherwise you risk getting systemded. Update pacman, install davinci-resolve package and that should be it.

Besides Davinci Resolve you could also get other CachyOS packages, like optimized v3 and up, but again those repositories are best to be kept bellow main Artix repositories.

So, I was trying to set up full supervision for local s6 supervision, so I read the manual (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/LocalUserServicesOns6) and copied and pasted instructions directly from it onto my computer. And now, when it boots, it gets stuck in a loop saying it can't start local-s6-user: Exec format error,

s6-supervise local-s6-user: warning: unable to spawn ./run (waiting 60 seconds): Exec format error

And it prints that message every minute or so. So, naturally, I chrooted into the system, turned off the services, and updated s6. Nothing changed. I then deleted the service definitions and updated s6. Nothing again. The service database even says they're down, but it still tries to enable it on boot.

I then proceeded to do increasingly dangerous commands, up to and including searching through every file on my system for the word "local-s6-user" using grep and piping the output into rm -rf because I had nothing left to lose. Ironically, nothing changed. I half expected to break it worse.

So anyway, I'm here, in single user mode, about to reinstall or maybe just give up on non systemd distros. Please help. Please. I don't know what to do. I can still technically recover important files and reinstall, but I don't wanna do that. Please.

I am trying to install artix with Root on one Drive and Home on another Drive

it will be formatted as ext4 of course and use awesome window manager and fastcompmgr

I am wanting to know if this is going to break my install or anything, if something is redundant, etc..

How do I set up on ssh server on Artix using Openrc? All guides I find online assume that you're running Systemd

HINA-SAN KAWAII!!!

Watching youtube( after I finally fixed pipewire and wireplumber)

Ghelper to mostly control the hardware and the keyboard lighting

obligatory neofetch(with stuff happening in the back ground

Man that's a small footprint(idle)

For reference before I jumped to artix(win11 idle)

Finally made the jump to artix in my gaming laptop(though I'm no stranger to Linux at this point as I have used mint, and Debian for almost two years now) now the path here is not easy (I did use a vm to nail the process of base install of artix) . Post boot the stuff that I decided to do are :

1.configure snapper

2. set up ghelper for linux(link : https://github.com/utajum/g-helper-linux )

3. make audio working (pipewire , wireplumber)

After that I decided to rest, It took me 5 hours to install this thing cause the first try didn't work due to me mounting the wrong directories( skill issue) and another 3 just to get those 3 working. Now Im jsut going to deal with:

1. Nvidia drivers

2.screen brightness

3.further artix optimization

4. configuring i3 keybinds

5.Steam(proton gaming)

6. prollly ricing my sddm and i3 setup a bit?

But man I'm currently happy that I finally moved my gaming laptop to linux(don't get me wrong,windows worked well but with the current issues on it that kinda pushed me to move to linux and Im kinda broke to upgrade my system). My advice for the others jumping to a systemd less system? invest your time in reading the wiki, learning it (its fine to use ai just make sure to learn what the commands are so you know what youre getting yourself into) and consider your needs( for me moving to linux is easy because most the stuff I use are already native or compatible with linux when I was still in windows). last thing you want is you not doing the thing you need. Again happy to be part of the artix community and do expect me having me some inquires about artix!! GODSPEED!!!

oh last thing I use Artix+openrc and system is the notebook pc Asus tuf a15 FA507NUR( ryzen 7 7435hs with rtx 4050).

A few updates ago, userspawn just stopped working. Like, no user socket, no audio, no nothing. I found myself using the dinit-user-spawn AUR package instead. Does anyone have the same problem? (Init system is dinit, forgot to add that earlier. Sorry.)
