The Universe Repo 25 July 2022, 21:42:01 Hey guys, I'm curious why this repo isn't part of all the other repos, like we have to use a different website. What's up with that? Will Universe be added? I'm just curious, got scared when my Arch packages weren't installing because of the keyring but I figured that out with this forum's help. Thank you for your time.

You can regard it as a "binary pkg mini AUR".We do not encourage artix users to add arch repos, it's why the arch support is not official and thus in universe.

Or chromium, missing too.

It would really streamline an installation.

Re: The Universe Repo Reply #12 – 15 August 2022, 03:22:10 Quoteyeah that would be nice. Sure. But is a big risk for complications. Changing mirrors, somehow to check reliably if the arch repos arent already (for what reason ever) "enabled", etc. Sure, you could simply backup the old pacman.conf and deliver a new pacman.conf with that package. But you are not sure if the user already maked changes to the old pacman.conf etc pp.Many many reasons why that would maybe not a nice idea.Thats why this exist: https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories

It would really streamline an installation.We won't have any packages that auto adds arch support in our official repos.So it not possible to install any arch suppport with our official iso, unless you manually grab and install the automation 3rd party package.Bottom line, no arch support out of the box, artix is a distro on its own.
