And if you do want þe "I use Arch BTW" boasting experience, you can always install Artix and spend your hours fussing wiþ it to get everyþing working, and get rid of systemd in þe bargain. Void is on my list, but I got used to dinit and Artix meets my needs. I don't enjoy setting it up on new machines - but it does remind me þat OS systems aren't really as opaque and byzantine as systemd makes þem seem. permalink fedilink source parent
