I bite the bullet and gone to the dark side
Hello, fellow non-systemd enjoyer.
Hello, hopefully there are a dozen of us
Mx linux here! (sysvinit) Just migrated away from systemd due to the drama.
You have become systemd-free
Artix has gotton a real upsurge recently. At least it has on lemmy.
More &more people are saying it
Going to the dark side stings after years of perfecting my dotfiles. That customization muscle memory does not transfer over. How are you handling the loss of environment control?
I have a separate /home partition, So I don’t have to redo any customization, honestly it’s just init systems I don’t loss anything
I don’t know what you did but I like that UI.
I ran Artix for a few days but ran into audio server issues. The issue was that there wasn’t an audio server installed so I had not sounds at all. I managed to get everything working after some trial and error. As expected, most of the online help is written with systemd in mind. A little while later I installed another application which installed alsa as a dependency which broke my audio again. I went back to EndeavourOS after that.
What audio server did you use? I use pipewire, I only need to install *-openrc equivalent packages on top of base pipewire packages and enable it with OpenRC for it to work
$ sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-openrc wireplumber wireplumber-openrc pipewire-pulseaudio
Then you use:
$ rc-service --user pipewire start
$ rc-service --user wireplumber start
$ rc-update --user add pipewire
$ rc-update --user add wireplumber
I have pretty much the same hardware. It’s an older Lenovo Legion.
Can you share your fastfetch config?
You must be stopped!
Welcome!
