Rarely notice I'm using Artix unless it's something that would have required systemd. No Systemd: My other Linux experiences with systemd were terrible. Systemd often hung during boot on distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and even Arch. Distributions without systemd, like Artix, offer a smoother experience. Artix is more familiar and user-friendly compared to other non-systemd distros like Void. Control and Customization: Greater control over system processes and services. Can configure my system exactly how I want it without unwanted dependencies. Performance: Faster boot times without systemd. Lightweight, making it ideal for both older and newer hardware. Community and Support: Strong and active community. Plenty of resources and documentation available, thanks to its Arch base. Stability and Reliability: More stable for my use case since systemd issues aren't a problem. Reliable performance without random hangs or crashes. Learning Experience: Offers a great learning curve for better understanding Linux internals. Helps deepen knowledge of init systems and process management. Security: Allows for more granular security configurations. Avoids some of the vulnerabilities associated with systemd.

Has Cinnamon Desktop available (KDE requires IPv6)5. Is for an X86-64 Architecture6. Uses PacMan package manager (no IPv6 servers)7. Can be installed locally i.e. from a DVDE (doesn't require an Internet connection during installation).8. Does not use the Systemd init software9. Does not REQUIRE IPv6, didrectly or indirectly.Good jog!Ex[ress; NOT requiring QuickTime v6 or greater is not a searchable criteria but it IS a criterion used in selecting a premade distro.None of our local devices require an Internet address, ALLEGEDLY unrouteable or otherwise. Each device already has a UUID, which hash is based on the system's MAC address and some date data. Version: 20230814Rating: 10Date: 2024-05-27Votes: 9 Artix is the only OS which 1. Is a LInux, 2.
