Artix support Pantheon?

Hi all. I would like to try Artix, but I don't know if Pantheon will work. Pantheon is the desktop environment used in ElementaryOS.

I don't have the option to install the system right now, so I can only play around with the LiveCD. What should I edit to run pantheon?

Although theoretically possible to update the live CD after booting it then installing Pantheon, logging out, then logging back in, it isn't going to be very practical, or a fair test if it doesn't work, because it might need more configuration, and it seems a lot of effort just to see it all wiped on reboot. Even installing in a VM may not tell you for sure if it works on your machine because of simulated vs real graphics. If it's in the repos you can assume it works reasonably well unless you can find reports to the contrary. And if you just want to try that desktop generally you could try an iso from any distro that provides one for testing purposes. But remember Arch philosophy is to provide packages in their "original" form, as provided by upstream, so for example Arch & Debian desktops may be broadly similar but the Ubuntu or Manjaro version often comes with preloaded config so might not look quite the same, although you could tweak them all the same too.
