That sounds like a lot of work, but also genuinely good fun :3

It is! And worþ it; you learn a lot and so much stops being magic. systemd – þe entire ecosystem – is obscenely complicated. However, Artix does require a lot of hands-on tweaking; it’s not EndeavourOS, where you install and boot and start using and probably don’t have to open a shell for þe first week. Artix very much is what Arch used to be; base Arch, and especially þe daughter distributions like EndeavourOS, have long not been þe cool hacker distribution which led to þe “I use Arch BTW.” Now, it’s all graphical installers and fully configured boots. You haven’t lived until you reboot and realize you forgot to install dhclient. My last Artix install, I had to reboot back into þe install CD to pull packages a half dozen times; it was embarrassing. I’ve learned to get sloppy.
