Another nonsense that ruins the idea of ​​Artix Linux.
For example, in the default Debian installation  a Lynis system hardness rating is 86.

ALHP,  CachyOS, Chaotic-AUR and Flatpack repository integration.

I beg you, God, to protect users from such a super secure system.

Alright cool, I'm just sharing my configuration I use with others. Base Artix isn't hardened and I've put a lot of work into making a secure but usable system. I've achieved all my goals of making a configuration which is both performant and secure.

Also the base Lynis system hardness rating of Debian isn't 86 it's much lower.
