From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lazy-Artix - CodeBerg

Hey all, just thought i'd share my Artix Linux installer script. I've wanted to give Artix a solid go, and decided to bring up my old Arch Linux install script to be used with Artix. I'm still working on it a lot and there is definitely some stuff in there that needs to be updated - but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

This is written all in bash, and is to be used with the base Artix Linux OpenRC ISO. Right now i'm focusing on getting KDE up and going, and then fixing up some of the bundles that can be selected.

It's nothing special - I started it years ago for Arch before the official installer existed, and only myself and a couple others have used it so it hasn't had a great deal of scrutiny. But anyway, just thought i'd share it.

(No AI has been used, also I migrated this over from GitHub so there are a few bits and pieces left over from that)

Edit: Just thought I should mention I sped up the video, the install actually took about 3 mins :)

It’s not really mandatory, but I take your point.

I guess it’s the choice between many minor programs running in tandem, potentially only held together by a few maintainers, or an init system that unifies all those programs under one flag, with multiple maintainers including corporations, but the chance for it to get enshittified.

I personally have no choice of init system since I use NixOS. But I also don’t necessarily think the death of the personal computer will come from an init system, it will sooner come from hardware becoming unavailable/too expensive for individuals to buy (basically what we are seeing happen now).

There's always Guix for a declarative system without systemd :)

I’m aware, I just don’t care enough about this particular beef.

Systems works well for me, and in order to get my configuration up to what it is today on NixOS (what I need it to be) I’d have to install multiple proprietary/non-free software/drivers on Guix anyway.

In a roundabout way I’d end up in the same spot.
