Feel free to use my "Installation Guide". You can install it from within another Artix system (chroot install). Please use it with care because it is still a work in progress.
A short summary what you will get after using my guide:
Desktop: KDE
Init: runit
Filesystem: Boot (Ext4), Home/Root (Ext4)
Encryption: Boot (Unencrypted), Home/Root (Encrypted)
Audio: Pipewire
AUR Helper: Yay-bin
Arch Repos: Enabled
Keyboard Layout: German
I tried to keep it pretty vanilla so that things can be changed to the users liking. I hope it helps you and if there is some feedback from other forum member I would appreciate it!

Each section can be copied to the terminal. It is not meant to be a full blown installation script but rather a quick reference guide that can be used to setup a Artix system.
