Hi,
two questions, please
wpa_supplicant works fine , but it would be good to know: which are alternatives? iwd from intel not for everyone, but is it open or closed source? wicd is not maintained, if i see right. Is there anything else?
then, on my Artix installation exists the service, but is disabled. Instead /usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -u is running. Is it normal that the service hasn't been started?

$ pacman -Si iwd
Repository : galaxy
Name : iwd
[...]
URL : https://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/wireless/iwd.git/
Licenses : LGPL
LGPL is an open-source license, and URL points to the source code.
If you have a network manager (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration#Network_managers) (like ConnMan, which is default in Artix's GUI installs), yes, and it's being handled by it.
cool, thanks
