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.

I ran Artix for a while but went back to Arch. Maybe I missed something obvious, but it didn't seem like there was a nice way even to
pacman -Syuon Artix because there were so many packages that were in both the Arch repositories and the Artix repositories. And you couldn't get away with only Artix repositories because there was so much they didn't have that the Arch repositories did have.I assumed it was just that Artix kindof wasn't quite mature enough yet. But again, it's entirely possible I missed something obvious. I might well be interested to give Artix another try if so.
As far as I understand only Arch packages that depend on systemd need an Artix equivalent. You should be able to enable both Artix and Arch repos and everything should be fine, you should be able to run
pacman -Syuwithout any problems. I never had problems in the last 3 years. If you tried it more than 3 years ago it might be a different story.
