Artix Linux (or simply Artix /ɑːrtɪks/) is a rolling-release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. Artix does not use systemd, instead opting to provide OpenRC, runit, s6, and dinit,[5] in its place.
Artix Linux has its own repositories, and it is not recommended by developers to use Arch packages due to differences such as naming conventions and contrasting init systems.
Arch OpenRC[6] and Manjaro OpenRC were started in 2012. In 2017,[7][8] these projects were split and Artix Linux was created.
