Hi Artix community!

Hi everyone..
I installed Artix from artix-mate-dinit-20240823-x86_64.iso (on my laptop),
In /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf , this was there,

Code: [Select]

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

So, tap to click did not seem to work, then I added

Code: [Select]

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "Tapping" "on"
    Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-libinput.conf
(thanks to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Tapping_button_re-mapping)

Is there a reason why tap to click is not chosen as default on Artix?

I used to use, keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd)
on Ubuntu to overload the Caps Lock key to Escape and Control.
For the dinit init, is there a service that exists or do I need to write one myself..?

All the omniverse repos seem to be down,
(I wanted to install hyprpaper)
github seems to be down too,
anybody else experiencing this??
Repos are up..!

Thanks a lot for the systemD free distribution,
Boots extremely faast... !

As a rule, we don't alter upstream settings unless dumb or intrusive.

That makes sense, I had almost forgotten that you are supposed to know such things before you jump to installation part..
and wikis are always present, so hopefully not pretty hard to figure things out..
