artix xfce open-rc (2024-07-08 weekly iso, and prior such as the official 2023 iso, etc.) wifi does NOT WORK out of the box.
artix plasma open-rc works. i think the difference is xfce uses connman, but plasma uses networkmanager. also, bluetooth doesn't work, and i had to install blueman.
i used wpa_supplicant to manually connect to wifi in artix-xfce-openrc just now. and i just wanted to pass this issue along so someone can fix it. having networking like wifi not working out of the box is a major fail, because it's dead in the water: you can't download packages, you have to troubleshoot from a different device, etc.
i haven't gotten networkmanager to work yet on xfce, but i suspect it would if it were installed properly. i anticipate working on getting a gui set up, instead of manually using wpa_supplicant, so advice for that could be helpful.
tl;dr
connman doesn't work
networkmanager works
put networkmanager in all releases
