Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Why I Like Artix

Based on Arch:
Allows me to say "I use Arch, by the way."
Minimalistic, letting me choose whatever apps I want.
Rarely notice I'm using Artix unless it's something that would have required systemd.

No Systemd:
My other Linux experiences with systemd were terrible.
Systemd often hung during boot on distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and even Arch.
Distributions without systemd, like Artix, offer a smoother experience.
Artix is more familiar and user-friendly compared to other non-systemd distros like Void.

Control and Customization:
Greater control over system processes and services.
Can configure my system exactly how I want it without unwanted dependencies.

Performance:
Faster boot times without systemd.
Lightweight, making it ideal for both older and newer hardware.

Community and Support:
Strong and active community.
Plenty of resources and documentation available, thanks to its Arch base.

Stability and Reliability:
More stable for my use case since systemd issues aren't a problem.
Reliable performance without random hangs or crashes.

Learning Experience:
Offers a great learning curve for better understanding Linux internals.
Helps deepen knowledge of init systems and process management.

Security:
Allows for more granular security configurations.
Avoids some of the vulnerabilities associated with systemd.

 i love artix
10/10Artix is the only OS which

1. Is a LInux,
2. Is a Desktop OS
3. Is NOT based on Debian (no IPv6 app servers)
4. Has Cinnamon Desktop available (KDE requires IPv6)
5. Is for an X86-64 Architecture
6. Uses PacMan package manager (no IPv6 servers)
7. Can be installed locally i.e. from a DVDE (doesn't require an Internet connection during installation).
8. Does not use the Systemd init software
9. Does not REQUIRE IPv6, didrectly or indirectly.

Good jog!

Ex[ress; NOT requiring QuickTime v6 or greater is not a searchable criteria but it IS a criterion used in selecting a premade distro.

None of our local devices require an Internet address, ALLEGEDLY unrouteable or otherwise. Each device already has a UUID, which hash is based on the system's MAC address and some date data.
