Package refind-artix is now available in the omniverse repository (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Omniverse).
For The rEFInd Boot Manager (https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) package refind-artix has:
- the latest rEFInd code
- the latest EFI file system drivers
- additional EFI file system drivers eg. for XFS and ZFS
- an Artix specific transparent boot logo in file /usr/share/refind/icons/os_artix.png

Next step an iso with rEFInd replacing GRUB ;)
I think there's some experimental Calamares modules for rEFInd? Though it's been a while since I looked.
In order to use refind instead of grub don't you need to have an EFI stub?
A normal configuration won't boot cause refind just finds boot files, while grub is also a bootloader.
I installed Artix using the base iso and refind doesn't show the logo there.
FDE with unencrypted boot.
While it shows it for the calamares FDE (encrypted boot) installation.
Just copy os_artix.png to the refind icons dir, and update the icon file name in refind.conf

I installed refind-git so I have os_artix.png there already.
I ran "refind-install" and now only the old calamares installation has it.
The new installation has a different folder name so they don't conflict .
Do I need to load the icon manually in refind.conf?
Yest, depending on your ESP dir something like:
menuentry "Artix Linux 1" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_artix.pngartist
Another way is to copy the image to match the name.
I named the folder: "/boot/efi/EFI/grub-artix-desktop".
So I copied "os_artix.png" as "os_grub-artix-desktop.png".
