Any advantages of Artix over Arch? I always see people always say it's arch with a different init system, but all I see in terms of practical benefit is supposedly faster bootup times (yet for some reason my configured NixOS (systemd) was booting faster than Alpine?) If the only advantages are supposedly faster startup times (which I couldn't replicate) and adhering to the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, as well as minimalism, then let me tell you, somethung far cooler would have been replacing everything possible with systemd.

It really is just Arch with a different init system. There are no noticeable major differences. The faster bootup times are probably negligible.

Of course I like the idea of minimalism and the unix philosophy, but the reason I chose Artix isn't so philosophic. I was already using Arch on my laptop and wanted to install it on my desktop, but I enjoy trying to do harder things and learning in the process, so I ended up learning how to use a different init system.. and I also did it because I liked the Artix logo better lol.

I'm very happy with both Artix and Arch and while I wish systemd wasn't almost a monopoly, at the end of the day everyone is free to use what they want as long as it doesn't hurt the linux ecosystem for others.

That workspace indicator looks really nice

Another starship user, can you elaborate why you are not using something like tide when using fish shell? Whats the appeal or advantage of starship? I feel the default layouts are boring and ugly. Is it the customize ability?

[-] LibertyBeta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can Chime in. I use starship so all my shells are the same, and because it's fash as a greased weasel. Rust has advantages.

That said, I tide looks interesting as it's a native prompt.
