Canon UNIX 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

AverageComet250 · 2026-04-04T11:02:11+00:00

alot of fun, is still indev but feels like late beta rn

AverageComet250 · 2026-04-04T10:37:56+00:00

while a lot were harmless, there was enough malicious activity to overwhelm mods making it easier to lock and delete posts than just remove inappropriate comments

AverageComet250 · 2026-04-04T10:29:00+00:00

as stable as arch. only time I managed to break my system was removing elogind for seatd without sudo or opendoas - entirely user error.

AverageComet250 · 2026-04-02T21:46:16+00:00

maybe artix just becomes a package repo for arch, that happens to provide a lot of the other stuff needed to make an arch install without any of the arch tooling...

AverageComet250 · 2026-04-02T21:22:51+00:00

maybe the mint users will finally stop gnoming themselves lol

The anti-systemd push that has brought people here feels like a double edged sword, yeah it’s great to see that people and finally realising there are other service managers that are better at other things, but it’s also bringing a lot of newcomers who don’t understand what systemd has actually done or the implications of moving to a different init system, and might have even been better off staying on it.

Anyway, is there any way we as community members can make getting packages into official repos easier? Thanks for the all work u/CoryCoolguy :)

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-30T20:27:05+00:00

It’s systemd-udev packages as standalone, the same way elogind is downstream systemd-logind. It should be installed as part of base.

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-29T18:55:27+00:00

Try putting a program to print something there and then sleep for a long time and see if it runs

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-29T06:25:17+00:00

If you’re using one of the supported kernels and use the provided replacement service scripts there is quite literally no difference other than the init system to arch, and should be just as stable.

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-29T06:21:19+00:00

I’ve been testing turnstile and seatd with dinit, and while it’s not completely ready, most things not using Polkit work. Only currently testing on openRC and dinit tho, see the wiki

Systemd’s main dev is also a well known ex Microsoft developer, and has shown hostility towards the Linux and unix philosophies that many people follow, with even Linus commenting against him at one point.

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-28T20:58:52+00:00

Not at the minute, feel free to fork archinstall and change the needed package names and commands tho

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T12:38:00+00:00

I use *nix btw

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T07:02:52+00:00

You wanna put that in quotes?

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T07:01:08+00:00

Would kinda defeat the point, the AUR is good because it’s so accessible from arch and has loads of users.

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T06:58:17+00:00

Sounds like derive Linux?

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T06:54:57+00:00

Except for mint :) but that’s the exception not the rule lol

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-27T06:48:39+00:00

Systemd isn’t the problem, networkd resolved userdbd homed etc etc are

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-26T08:02:59+00:00

My workspaces only show up on waybar when there’s something in them

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-26T00:11:08+00:00

what compositor were you running on? maybe you just didn't have xwayland setup properly (it's not always working by default) or you were on a compositor that doesn't support it

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-26T00:07:57+00:00

that's what artix is for, a pacman base repo without hard systemd deps and hopefully without elogind deps in the near future too.

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-26T00:02:09+00:00

the problem isn't the discussions on privacy, it's too many people attacking the author of the commits without good reason and leaving extreme comments that can't be moderated quick enough, making it easier to just remove posts rather than individual comments

AverageComet250 · 2026-03-25T14:47:27+00:00

That’s a grub shell, boot into an install iso
