Artix Linux is Amazing: First 10 Minutes, Wow

I had been using other Arch Distro, but it is pretty much a bloated memory hog.
I am now Plasma Free...w00t!

Network Speed....Holy Moly, what a difference.
On the other bloated beast. average DL Speeds 800Kib, occasionally 2Mib.

On Artix, 15Mib, my -Syu took a few minutes instead of an hour, no more throttling. Some countries are haters.

Now, seeing the repo difference, I'm impressed, Artix way is more better.
Uhm..I installed the

Code: [Select]

artix-archlinux-support

, it's a crutch for now until a I learn more.

fasm2 is a 64bit application, Could it be in one of the Artix repos?
I want to compile something that recommends fasm.

I haven't looked around yet, JAQQ, How does Artix handle USB drives?
On the other distro, with xfce4, I needed to install gvfs before I could access my storage device. Is this the same for Artix?

Random Mac Addresses for internet, How do you do this with connman? Does connmanctl offer a way to set a mac address?
In searching for an answer for these questions I haven't discovered a solution.

I solved this one: There are 2 file managers, a white one and a blue one. I had to use Thunar to see the usb drive.
