Am I wrong or is it that everyone here is from Manjaro and there hasn't been a single introduction from Arch-Openrc ?
If so, why so?

Your wrong I'm a long time arch user since 2005. I tried Manjaro when it 1st came out tried Manjaro openrc but manjaro was a pointless project for me nothing is as simple as Arch why do you need tools that complicate doing any simple task then fail when used.
As it is Artix is back to basics of Arch I will stay as long as that does not change, I also use S6 totally systemd free.
I only use the Manjaro social media forum that is my only interest with manjaro

Do you build S6 from aur or use obarun's repositories? Do you know how to have it load luks and lvm2 containers on boot?

Thanks. I am interested as S6 was lightning fast at boot time.

I use Obaruns repro for S6 but remember Obarun is not a distro its a concept so unless you know a fair bit about linux it does not build a complete experience. 
I introduced JMW to Obarun its not quite the same as my personal set-up which is a fully working set-up that I use on a daily basis.
Yes its lightning fast.
 Just make sure you back up before updates as its very hard to keep up with some of the changes in arch, so their can be the odd breakage, but get eric on the irc channel and he will work on it there and then great guy as well.
Luks, lmv2 don't use nothing personal but has no interest to me, it takes 2 mins to do a complete 100% back up using a single partition setup including grub I don't see the point but that is just me.

Hello,
i am a relatively new Manjaro-OpenRC user (have used it for about a year).
I used Linux full-time before for about 2 years (Ubuntu 14.04 back then). When i experimented with some distros, i found this systemd thing, did some research on it and decided that i neither needed nor wanted it. And so, my eternal search for the right OS started...
I used Manjaro-OpenRC because it offered the most stable systemd-free experience at the moment (as far as i could tell). During my time using it, i fell in love with Plasma 5, which further narrowed down my options.
After the announcement of Manjaro-OpenRCs death, i tried Void at first (which i really like from a technical standpoint, runit is by far my favorite init/service manager), but i felt like it limited me a bit too much (tho my main reason to switch away from it was actually that i couldn't write large files, even some between 400 and 500MB, to my SD card).
FreeBSD wasn't an option, mostly because of no Virtualbox USB support (but also lack of Plasma 5 in the main ports).

So i finally went to Artix, where i can have a familiar Arch environment and the ease-of-use i'm used to from Manjaro, and also my Plasma 5, without systemd. This is now the best systemd-free Plasma 5 distro/OS at the moment, at least in my book.
I will stay until either something breaks so horribly that i can't fix it, or something better and more interesting comes along. I wish best luck to everyone.

Wellcome to the Artix forum.

Void Linux is a damn good DE its biggest drawback is documentation and any sort of willingness to add essential core apps that don't fit Into their own needs, I used cinnamon and it really worked fine. Void was stable as a rock the 18months I had it on trial.
But the magestic KDE has some strange quirks in Arch as well but that is the nature of the beast Linux.
I did a clean install of Artix as soon as artoo made the announcement using cinnamon its been fine just a couple of hitches with group when I set it up.

Horay for more members!

@ mandog
Well that is fine. What ever floats ones boat. Personally, I like full disk (+boot) luks partitions though. Hopefully someone can point me on how to make other inits prompt for passwords and boot.

-----

I liked Void. Lean and fast. The xbps (package installer) was limited compared to pacman. And the naming schemes for packages were very strange and non-standard; random uppercase in the middle of a name, no preference of "_" or "-", searches were case sensitive.

Has quirks, but is solid and generally upto date. I ran it for ~1.5 years too. Its enlightenment spin was usually lighter than a manjaro one. And musl based options were extremely light.

Must say Artix has been lighter than manjaro/arch was.

Happy to have everyone here, enjoying Artix.

PS: I saw an "obarun" was registered. They the real deal? If so, very excited!

We are going to make Artix-karp into a Artix-arados, right?

Well, as i am a Magikarp worshipper, i despise its evolution and think that it is a massive downgrade.
But yeah, i hope Artix will at least be as good as my trusty Level 100 Magikarp.

Hear, hear to Artix's montage to level 100!

Hi
I have been using Linux for 15+ years, almost entirely rpm-based distros. About year ago, tired of systemd, I moved to Manjaro OpenRC - mostly for systemd-free system with rolling release. Now migrated to Artix, so far so good...
Waiting for kernels that support smapi and acpi_call.

Hey folks

Coming from Manjaro-Openrc. Some of you may remember me from the old Manjaro forum. Stopped posted after they changed servers because I couldn't stand newer the layout.

Want to say thank you to all the Artix devs for everything they've done. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Again thank you and I  look forward to seeing Artix and this community grow.

Hello!  ;D
I've been running linux for ~2.5 years. My first real experience was Xubuntu 14.04, which I used until 16.06 came out and a friend told me about the woes of systemd. I read about it, and I decided to search for alternatives. Then the same friend pointed me to systemd-free.org. So then I switched to arch-openrc, which I used on my work laptop for almost 1 year. This year I moved to Manjaro-openrc. And now I'm here, hopefully to stay. Migration completed successfully on all my boxes, without any issues. ^_^
