So Void Linux and Artix Linux has different different directories for their service stuff.

In runit version of Artix, services are stored in /etc/runit/sv/. The 'sv' command reads anything that's in /run/runit/service/. Ok gotcha.

Symlinking a service from /etc/runit/sv/ to /run/runit/service allows it to be controlled with the 'sv' command, basically enabling it. Neat!

So for #artix with s6 init, I have to install the service with an -s6 prefix, do touch /etc/s6/adminsv/default/contents.d/<service_name> then s6-db-reload to enable a service. To temporarily start/stop a service, I just do s6-rc -u/-d change <service_name>. Alright, alright. Gotcha

To disable the service, just remove the touched file. Alright, gotcha, bear. Thansk

I've been running for a while, and I feel like I need to give another try.

The thing that's really holding me back is the AUR. I realize void has xbps-src, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Setting dracut to build a UKI with custom boot keys will be new too. Plus I want to see if I can hack it to init with s6 instead of runit 😈

In any case, if anyone has gone from Arch or Artix to Void, tips are certainly welcome.

I'm in the mood for some #linux distro exploration today! If y'all got some more suggestions other than the ones below, leave them down below!

I will play around distros that are #systemd less, such as #voidlinux, #devuan, #chimeralinux, #artix, and #venomlinux.

I will also install #archlinux, btw, but try changing the init, see how it all goes.

And I will also try to install #xfce on #alpine and try to make it usable :)

Ce qui est bien avec la Artix Linux, c’est qu’elle est partiellement compatible avec Archlinux dont elle est tirée. C’est ainsi que dans une Artix Linux Gnome que j’ai installé à la main (cf peertube.pcservice46.fr/w/6GdD ) j’ai pu rajouter les paquets gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (depuis le site d’Archlinux) et gnome-shell-extension-arch-update (depuis AUR). Capture d’écran à l’appui :)

I've successfully installed a base Artix system via the WIP Calamares-online installer.

It initially crashed while basestrapping the base and elogind packages, though I've found a workaround, involving the installation of the keyring.

I've written a detailed post to the artix-general mailing list, and may also publish an article to my website.

Apart from this, the online installer works without any issues.
