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 :)
I’ve been fucking around with Artix in a VM trying both Runit and S6.
Having never successfully installed Arch manually before, it was easier than I thought to get a desktop up and running…getting Pipewire to work on the other hand…still working on it. >.>
Honestly think the official installation guide needs some updating. I had to go off and find other community written guides to get certain things working. And small issues like the linux-firmware package downloading Nvidia drivers on my full AMD system.
I’m still dedicated to switching from Endeavour even though that distro has been very good to me. Their official statement on the matter didn’t inspire confidence, more just shifted the blame to FOSS as a whole. No words on plans to protect users or fork/switch away from mainline SystemD when push comes to shove.
