Artix Linux

About

Artix Linux is an autonomous project that originated as a fork and continuation of the Arch-OpenRC and Manjaro-OpenRC projects, based in France. It offers a lightweight, rolling-release operating system for Linux platforms, distinguished by its use of the OpenRC init software. The OS is privacy-focused, ensuring no tracking, and is built upon Arch Linux, providing users with desktop environments such as Plasma and Cinnamon. Artix Linux is free and open-source, with a free trial available. The project maintains an active online presence through its website (http://artixlinux.org) and social channels including GitHub (https://github.com/artix-linux), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/artixlinux), and Twitter (https://twitter.com/alternativeto). User feedback praises it as a "Best systemd-free Arch distro" while also noting that it can be "quite slow in updating even the most important packages."
