About

Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux. It uses real init systems because PID1 must be simple, secure, and stable. It is possible to install any init system (openrc, runit, s6, suite66, or dinit) from any ISO. Artix can either be installed through the console or the GUI installer. There are 3 different kinds of installation media Artix currently provides, base, graphical, and community. Unless you really know your way around Linux, use a community edition. The base installation can be performed from within any ISO; this may prove useful to people who have trouble getting their wireless network cards to work or for any reason need an active graphical environment during installation. You can also install a different init system than that of the installation medium. Base ISOs allow for a fully customised installation, which is done in a TTY and is intended for knowledgeable users.

About

After a long development cycle (including many betas and release candidates to get everything just exactly perfect) we're pleased to announce the availability of the new stable release. You'll find updates throughout the system, with the latest development tools and recent versions of applications, window managers, desktop environments, and utilities. The Linux kernel is updated to version 4.4.14 (part of the 4.4.x kernel series that will be getting long-term support from the kernel developers). We've brought together the best of these and other modern components and worked our magic on them. If you've used Slackware before, you'll find the system feels like home. Want to give Slackware 14.2 a test drive without modifying your disk drive? Then check out Slackware Live Edition! This is a complete Slackware installation that can run from a CD, DVD, or USB stick. Build scripts for all kinds of additional software for Slackware 14.2 are also available.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Artix is a powerful well documented system working without systemd. Arch Linux and Linux in general defaults to systemd. Artix works and though my experience is limited to oS6 and dinit as init systems. i highly recommend installing Artix with the dinit system. it just works.

Cons

  • None that i know of. Caveat... i use Windows 11 regularly. I use Linux distributions like Arch Linux and Artix more as a hobby and some specialized uses.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Extremely stable even the rolling version (current) is more stable than most production systems. Does not alter upstream packages unless absolutely necessary. It follows a consistent Unix base so you learn Gnu Linux linearly and your knowledge is generic.

Cons

  • It is not suitable for users who are unwilling to learn some terminal commands and how the system works behind fluffy GUIs.
