Cosmic?

Can the COSMIC desktop environment be installed on Artix, or is it too dependent on systemd? I think COSMIC looks cool. I’m currently on KDE/OpenRC and was wondering about adding COSMIC as a session.

[Artix/No-systemd] Vesktop/Discord tray icon missing in Hyprland (Caelestia/Quickshell taskbar)

Hey everyone, I'm losing my mind trying to get the system tray icon for Vesktop (and native Discord) to show up on my taskbar. I'm running a non-systemd setup, which I strongly suspect is causing a DBus issue with StatusNotifierItem.

My Setup:

  • OS: Artix Linux (dinit - no systemd)
  • Compositor: Hyprland
  • Shell/Bar: Caelestia Shell (which uses Quickshell for the taskbar)
  • Login Manager: LightDM

The Problem: The applet/tray icon for Vesktop simply does not appear in the Caelestia taskbar.

What I have already tried (that didn't work):

  1. Forcing Wayland natively: Launched with vesktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
  2. Spoofing DE: Launched with env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity and KDE.
  3. Updating DBus environment manually: Ran dbus-update-activation-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP before launching.
  4. Installing tray dependencies: Made sure libappindicator-gtk3 and libayatana-appindicator are both installed.
  5. Wrapping the session: I edited my LightDM hyprland.desktop file to launch via Exec=dbus-run-session Hyprland.
    • Note on this: This actually broke my ability to log out. Because Quickshell spawns background daemons, the dbus-run-session stayed alive even after Hyprland exited, freezing me on a black screen. I had to revert this.

Does anyone know how to properly initialize the system tray/DBus in a dinit Hyprland environment so Quickshell can see Electron applets? Any help is hugely appreciated!

Newbie q: How to use -init packages provided in repos? (docker-dinit)

Hi! I'm trying to install docker and wanted to know how to get from installing packages to being able to enable services. So what do I have to do after "sudo pacman -S docker docker-dinit docker-compose" ?

What's the point of -init packages? Do I have to create a file in /etc/dinit.d/user and point it to docker-dinit instead of docker or am I complicating stuff?

Edit:

!solved thanks for helping me. Looks like I've just wrongly assumed how things work.

Mintix linux - explained

Many people didn't quite grasp what I was getting at, so let me put it simply: imagine EndeavourOS but based on Artix—yet with the cozy feel and style of Linux Mint (Cinnamon, LightDM).

It also includes support for Nvidia drivers 340, 390, and 470 in the new kernel, and I’ve redesigned the logo.

Why not Devuan?

The thing is, I worked on Librevuan (a simplified Devuan), but I’m not a fan of the architecture or Devuan itself; plus, the transition from Arch to a non-systemd distro (like Artix) can be difficult for users.

I use artix btw

Siento que usar Artix + Sway es el estilo alternativo a usar Arch + Hyprland, son practicamente lo mismo pero uno es mas masoquista que el otro si me explico? JAJAJA
