Artix Linux

Artix Linux (or simply Artix /ɑːrtɪks/) is a rolling-release Linux distribution partially based on Arch Linux, with a primary goal to provide init and service management freedom. Artix offers OpenRC, runit, s6 and dinit,. In contrast to Arch, Artix does not use systemd with the default init and service manager being OpenRC.

Artix Linux has its own repositories, and it is not recommended by developers to use Arch packages due to differences such as naming conventions and contrasting init systems.

Arch OpenRC and Manjaro OpenRC were started in 2012. In 2017, these projects were split and Artix Linux was created.
