I tried Artix Linux on an old MacBook Air and was very pleased with it. For a couple of weeks, I contemplated on installing it on my desktop replacing a distro that I used continuously since 2005. I was torn in between letting go because of the community forum and something new (better) to hopefully move forward.

Although I am just a faceless name in a handful of forums I visit, I've gotten to know some and maybe even call them friends because of the interactions that passed between them and me. I just thought, friends come and go, and maybe in a future we'll cross paths again.

Moving permanently to Artix Linux as my new dig in the digiverse, I hope to interact and hopefully make some meaningful connections with some.

Happy holidays!

Artix linux is a really great and amazing Linux distribution, with which I personally have never had any problems, although I have been using this distribution for about a year. But since I personally do not like the direction in which Linux is moving, I moved to the land of FreeBSD. But I still wanted to thank the developers of this distribution for their titanic efforts in creating and maintaining this product. Thank you very much.

I don't like how Linus Torvalds is removing kernel contributors from kernel development. I don't like how he, living in America, is being directed to blindly follow the current political direction.(this was advised by Greg Kroah-HartmanGreg, a US citizen and one of the key Linux developersl), and I also don't like that he removed ReiserFS from the kernel ahead of schedule.

I could go on and on, but somehow I don't want to. Linux is a past phase for me...

(Somewhat abrasive and not so 'politically correct' (oh, irony) rant below (not towards/about forum users! I love the community that's here), but I really want to point some stuff out, if it's offtopic or it's breaking the rules then I'm sorry):

I completely agree with you. Well written.

a 20 year olds FS that is obsolete, is gradually removed from the kernel, and your mad?

Linus removed who now? He can't, right?

Look if you want to hate go right ahead, pottering is right there...

Not liking reality is about the only sane option these days.
But our insane reality keeps thundering on regardless.

Bury, head, sand. Play some games. Do a bit of of bad quality programming and get wasted frequently.
That's my apathetic modus operandi.

Oh and back on topic I don't actually use much of Artix regularly anymore I have to admit. (though I do still have a reasonably up to date install of Artix on a partition)
I use a self rolled Arch with Openrc and just the .so's from systemd-libs. So I suppose I'm also a heretic ?

Pretty much mine too, due to health issues I can't work so I NEET and write shit. I merged qt5ct, qt6ct, qt5gtk2 and qt6gtk2 into one thing, but it's really shitty and I'm thinking about cmake stuff. Also wrote my own thumbnailer. Tumbler is so shitty - get this, even tho you can "provide" your own plugin/script for processing thumbnails those are reencoded yet again inside it! By f#cking gdk-pixbuf! And saved as huge pngs! I don't know what theyve been smoking, but I kinda need that. My python script and ffmpeg does this way better. Also patched Thunar to support more formats for thumbnails. Can't promise on upstreams or code tho

Nobody's a heretic. As long as you're here and provide quality support (which you do, not like the RTFM guy) then you're welcome in my books. Anyone's welcome if they do so. I recently started too. I still use Artix as daily driver, it's been exactly 1 year since moving from Windows 8.1. I like it here even tho I have some stuff to bicker about, but the pros outweigh the cons. As for breakage I had only 1 instance of stuff not booting up and that was up to Nvidia. So not really an Artix problem. It's all good.
