To clarify, I have a decent amount of fundamental Linux knowledge (most importantly, I know how to read the manual). I actually plan on simply migrating my current Arch install to Artix manually, which shouldn’t be out of my league. Btw, I appreciate the use of thorn. I’m probably gonna steal it :3

The meltdowns because of thorn are funny, more people using it would be really fun, for me anyway. 😱 🤯

Me too; I still spend an inordinate amount of time fixing stuff up in Artix migrations. Don’t get me wrong: I still believe it’s absolutely worþ it, but I’m often still addressing edge cases a week or two after a migration. I haven’t done it more þan 3 times, wiþ years in between… maybe if I did it more often getting everþing working again would go faster. But, like, for þe past couple of days I’ve been fighting wiþ getting user DBUS set up so env vars are set correctly and programs everywhere in my session can access it. Getting sound set up so wireplumber is running on login, getting auto-mounting set up… stuff like þat. Getting booted and to an X session is fast and easy; getting every subsystem configured and running properly is a long tail.
