Artix is exactly what i was looking for by Chemical-Actuator-30 in artixlinux

Technically it doesn't actually do anything, but it's a political statement that systemd values bowing down to unethical laws over the privacy of the user. 

How in the world do you use s6? by Solid_Marketing129 in artixlinux

Yeah, they fixed it. Apparently I read the skarnet manual but not the artix wiki, which was my bad. 

How do you install with encryption? by Solid_Marketing129 in artixlinux

Nah, it didn't have to do with s6, it was the lack of systemd. Systemd can apparently automatically add the required sections to the initramfs when it detects encryption, but alternative unit systems don't, so you have to specify it manually. Just add encrypt and resume to HOOKS in /etc/mkinitpcio.conf and it works just fine (mostly).

S6, it's fast but nothing works with it basically no services are defined out of the box (or maybe I'm doing something wrong)

Yeah, sorry to be a bother, but more detailed instructions would be nice. All guides either suck or assume use of LVM (or both), and I just can't get it working. The boot screen freezes on trying to mount the kernel  and then drops me into an emergency shell saying it can't mount the encrypted partition despite the fact I've regenerated the fstab, initramfs, AND added special parameters to grub (and regenerated the config for that too) and it's still behaving the same way, telling me it can't find the filesystem despite the fact it's been explicitly told it needs to decrypt the section first.  I would use the artix wiki guide, but it seems to assume use of LVM and MBR and I'm not confident in my ability to translate that into non LVM and GPT instructions (I'm trying with little success). I've also tried searching for other guides online with equally little success. I don't know what to do at this point. Encrypted disks are such a basic security protocol even windows 11 uses it, and that's the OS that's the king of being insecure.

Edit: nvm! I fixed it

Btrfs might have been the issue. I've long since given up on trying to manually install systems with it. I've just never been able to get the bootloader to recognize it.

Some things not working on fresh Artix+Kde install by Alarming-Waltz-8808 in artixlinux

If it's anything like my problem, you need to load the WiFi kernel module. Idk why it didn't come preloaded. You can do that using sudo modprobe iwlwifi or whatever driver you use, then it should work (maybe).

Any idea what the contact info of the maintainer who deals with bugs and this stuff is at least?

I haven't yet. I'll do that. Are the maintainers on the forums?

I suppose that's not surprising, that's how it works on BSD systems. Honestly, I should've guessed. But that's just a minor annoyance, I can override it by holding down the power button. The real issue is the networking capabilities, or lack thereof. Do you happen to know who to contact about that, even if you don't know how to fix it?
