I look at it more like Artix exists to solve the one “problem” with Arch. As much as Arch is generally about user choice, the one thing it decided to be opinionated about was the mandatory use of systemd. Artix tries to follow Arch as closely as possible while providing the alternate init systems. I think that’s pretty cool, even if their hatred of systemd is childish.
It’s sole reason to exist is “no systemd because we hate it” (their tagline is literally something childish about “real init systems”) and they’re willing to drop GNOME and friends on a dime for that goal.
Choosing Artix is like choosing some fork that differentiates itself by refusing to package vim for some reason.
how is artix schizo
