{Guide} Remove Artix Theming from the GUI ISO Installations (Improved)

Instructions:
  • Edit /etc/default/grub and comment or change the "GRUB_THEME=" line:
    Code: [Select]
    #GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/Artix"
  • Update the grub.cfg:
    Code: [Select]
    sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  • Find Artix theme packages (Be careful that you only remove theming related packages, see package summary below):
    Code: [Select]
    pacman -Qsq artix
  • Uninstall Artix theme packages (Example for current Plasma ISO (artix-plasma-openrc-20230814-x86_64.iso)):
    Code: [Select]
    sudo pacman -Rns artix-branding-base artix-grub-theme artix-gtk-presets artix-qt-presets sddm-theme-artix
  • Clear misconfigured /etc/environment:
    Code: [Select]
    sudo rm /etc/environment && > /etc/environment.txt
  • Close all applications except a terminal or file explorer
  • Rename "~/.config" to "./config-backup":
    Code: (Move command) [Select]
    mv ~/{.config,.config-backup}
  • Log out then log back in (This will generate new configs for your DE)
  • Open only a file explorer(Anything you open has a chance of generating new configs in "/.config")
  • Move or copy any or all  configs back from "./config-backup" to "/.config", always write into but never overwrite (Very hard to do in a terminal)
  • Unless you think you need the remaining files in "/.config-backup", there is no harm in deleting it:
    Code: [Select]
    rm -rf ~/.config-backup
  • Log out and profit
