    I installed Artix yesterday.

    Absent-mindedly.

    Meant to install AntiX.

    Didn’t realise until done.

    XD

    A silly grep for “tix” (not “tiX”) in iso dir, saw the various inits, + dyslexia + haste, went with it thinking I had the right ones to dd to usb. So absent minded all the artix logos in my face didn’t phase me through booting and installing. XD

    Doesn’t really matter. Installed AntiX straight after. Hijacked with bedrocklinux and installing the other to another stratum too anyway. I just wanted antiX for hijack default init stratum from the start, for a more stable (slower-upgrading) base.

    Fun that two distros offering init freedom are so similarly named. Just one letter and one capitalisation different. r > n & x > X.

    Well. That was fun. LOL.

    Can you choose your init in Arch or EndeavourOS yet?

      You mean “can you remove systemd”? Short answer: yes.

      Should you do it? Only if you’re fucking insane.

      Just use Artix if you care that much

        ? you can? I’d rather start without it, than try to remove it.

        Should you do it? Only if you’re fucking insane.

        Why do you say that?

        Just use Artix if you care that much

        Or Devuan (or any devuan respin), or CRUX, or Gentoo, or VoidLinux, or Slackware, or GuixSD, or Loc-OS, or Alpine, or Joborun, or Hyperbola, or Parabola, or Venom, or PCLinuxOS, or GoboLinux, or SulinOS, or KISS Linux, or Carbs Linux, or LigurOS, or Dragora, or GlaucusLinux, or NutyX, or AntiX, or MXLinux, or Slitaz, or Puppy (or any pup respins), or PuffOS, or TinyCore, or Slax, or Chimera, or NXOS, or Peppermint, or LFS, or CalculateLinux, or RedCore Linux, or Obarun, or BedrockLinux, 4MLinux, or Absolute Linux, or Austrumi Linux, or BharOS, or CalyxOS, or Damn Small Linux, or DivestOS, or Dyne:bolic, or e, or Knoppix, or Kwort Linux, or LibreCMC, or LightOS, or LineageOS, or Nanolinux, or Porteus, or Salix, or Source Mage, or VectorLinux, or Vine Linux, or Zenwalk, or Zeroshell, or…

        … Did I miss any? [Edit… oh, I missed dozens]

        It’s not like there’s just one, nor even just an “insane” few, to avoid systemd. Contrary to the corporate encouraged misinfo smears going around.

        Even if one is insistent users stay in the arch cult, there are like half a dozen options.

        I prefer freedom of choice.

        Long live init-freedom.

        Defy group-think dogma.

        [PS, I do like the play on “Just use Mint”. ;)]

          I say insane because Arch is very much not made to run without systemd, and you would need to make a lot of changes to make it work without it.

          So, as you say, just choose a distro without systemd
