Installing Artix Linux (Like Arch, but better)

- I needed to reinstall Artix Linux on my (UEFI) desktop, so went through the process here. It's basically the same as installing Arch, but with minor changes which I'll note. Artix is just Arch without systemd: it allows OpenRC, runit or s6. Get the distribution here: artixlinux.org/ I did the minimal install, similar to how Arch Linux is usually installed, but there are also many desktop environment ISOs including Cinnamon, Plasma, XFCE, i3 and more which should be even easier to install.
Once you have the minimal install done, you can install a graphical environment: • After a Minimal Linux ...
There are only several differences between this and an Arch install: some commands are named differently: `genfstab` in Arch while `fstabgen` in Artix, `basestrap` in Artix, while `pacstrap` in Arch. Obviously the commands to autostart services will be different since we have a different init system. Note that I install this for a UEFI machine, but a machine running traditional BIOS should just be one or two commands different. UEFI machines must have a FAT32 boot partition and a different grub install command.

Thank you Luke. I really enjoy how you go to the detail while you teach and and mention what a given command is for and a few variations. Helps a a lot :)
coming from Void, artix-runint was quite easy to install and configure (so far). transfered all my bspwm config and stuff without any issues. Last time i checked artix it had only unofficial support for uefi and gpt disks (or i may have misread and misundertood back then). Thanks again Luke for wonderful presentation.
I wish they had a systemd version :D

The third line in the hosts file should be 127.0.1.1
what is the reason for it to use the 127.0.1.1?

@@nico1337 thanks. mysterious.
The system hostname should always be resolvable even when the network is down. Some applications try resolve a host via 127.0.1.1.
it doesn't matter really which line you put 127.0.1.1 in, you can even leave it out altogether
Was already planning to fiddle around with installing Artix on the weekend.
Thanks!
I had a couple artix installs for testing. But I used the gui installer. Thanks for this, I should take more time to learn arch.
When will you install Gentoo, Luke?
Thank you Luke, I would love to do a lot more from command line and this video helps show me a lot of the basic set up.
Luke is more active here, is everything ok?
quarantine is getting to him
Well, that looks painless. I'm going to give it a try this weekend on a spare drive so thanks for that. I'm already a Linux person so all this is very familiar.

Hello. How do I install The Linux?
make a video explaining systemd vs openrc and why you would wanna use either, so my small brain can understand this.
The only difference is how they function. You can find in-depth details about Systemd and why its tragic on a YT channel called linux.conf.au. OpenRC is developed by Gentoo and you might not find differences in speed. It is only seconds fast and that's it.
OpenRC is faster, systemd has too many default services so boot times are slower, otherwise they should work the same, but OpenRC for superfast boot even on an hdd.
@uraharasama1 why would lutris and wine, which are user space software care about the init and the low level system space, now that is reddit tier stupidness
@uraharasama1 I turn off or mask systemd journaling and network manager services and it helps me boot faster and my internet works just fine, so systemd does dick actually besides taking up my time in these aspects,
last I checked grub was the bootloader not systemd, and when it tries to be the grub has to be configured differently or you're in the grub rescue.
And why would you game on linux? Lutris doesn't care about soystemd even if u do.
@uraharasama1 just systemd-analyze and compare your boot times, be careful tho, you should know what a service does before masking it. Also if you're on an nvme or SSD it will make less of a difference but I have cut down 6 to 10 seconds on my manjaro boots.

Install x86 from scratch
Thanks Luke I was going to upgrade to debian sid but you have convinced me to install artix, it definitely wasn't that I broke my install while upgrading.
the bootloader-id option can be whatever you want, as all it does is set the bootloader name in the uefi boot manager
find it funny how we have the same names luke smith meet luke smith!

Hello Luke, thank you so much for all the cool videos you make. Especially thank you for your newest video on Artix Linux. I have to give it a try. What display manager do you use in combination with dwm?
pretty sure he uses xinit instead of display manager
I am writing this from Artix :). I installed Cinnamon Openrc with disk encryption LVM on LUKS (except grub) and I like it. By the way, there were some weird files from other DEs in the ~/.config dir like kde apps configs and fontonfig file created by lxde. I think the calamares installer put them there, and I don't suggest using calamares, better do it manually like you
I originally planned to install Alpine Linux as the bare metal operating system on the infrastructure machines in my home office until recently coming across Adelie Linux. However, I rely heavily on Docker containers and Adelie Linux does not currently have the docker application in its repositories. Fortunately, Atrix Linux meets all of the requirements. As I watched this video I performed the first installation. Adelie Linux will still be used for the workstations/terminals since the goal is to remotely connect to the infrastructure machines via ssh to access the containerised applications. Systemd free by month-end.
I installed artix last sunday night after watching this video. had a few issues like getting my trezor working but after installing the trezor bridge app it all works.
`artools-chroot` has been replaced with `artix-chroot` btw

Wait you're telling me that one line around 3:00 did everything Rufus does to create a bootable usb from an iso image?
Hi! I love the availability and the simplicity of installing packages on Arch, that's the main thing that keeps me in Arch. The other day I was trying out a Debian based distro and installing packages quickly became a nightmare, i just couldn't install anything that was outside of the supported repos. And trying to compile from a ppa was horrible, I was always missing a dependency or it just wouldn't compile.
So how's the package availability on Artix compared to Arch? If you/someone could answer me this question I would be very thankful!
PD: Sorry if my English is a little broken, it's not my first language. Cheers from Argentina!
I'm late on this, but just about everything on Arch works on Artix because it's just Arch without systemd.
So, all I want to figure out before I jump head first into this is how much differences to Arch are there when it comes to installing for a Dual Boot with Windows 10.
EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A HOME PARTITION WITH MY DOCUMENTS, AFTER I MOUNT MY HOME PARTITION, WHEN I PACSTRAP IN ARCH AND IT INSTALLS THE SYSTEM, DOES IT DO SOMETHING TO MY HOME PARTITION? I DON'T WANNA LOOSE MY FILES. AND WHEN I CREATE MY USER NAME AND PASSWORD, I SHOULD USE THE SAME ONES RIGHT? OR THERE IS AN EXTRA THING? I WOULD APPRECIATE UR HELP !
What size of torcks screwdriver do I need for this?

Hi, Luke! What do you think of the new dinit ISO of Artix?
In my opinion, this is probably vanilla Arch, but without the bloat because dinit behaves VERY similarly to systemd, but if systemd was ONLY an init system. Even the syntax is the same:
systemctl enable cups -> dinitctl enable cups
I think you should try it out in a video that could be titled like "dinit: systemd, but without the BLOAT???"
I've personally been running that init for a couple weeks, so far pretty good, ain't that memory intensive and boots pretty fast.
I'd like to know more about this different init systems. Didn't even knew that there was more than sysV and the devil systemd.
what do you think of trying Obarun instead? still arch-based, uses s6 as init and and inhoused 66serv as service management. I think this is more systemd less since mpd, which relies on system, does not work.
Would you happen to know if there's a way to display and connect the bluetooth devices through connman and connman-gtk? I like the idea of having all technologies in a single applet instead of doing the nm/blueman combo. Thanks a lot for the video.
Well nutz. I just installed Artix LXDE on my testing partition before noticing this vid.
I did not install install the bootloader since Calamares usually fails when attempting to replace a partition.
After partitioning & formatting manually then it installs ok.
I rechecked the locale.conf and was good. I set the timezone ok. But there was no quick adjustment from the desktop that I could find.
First updates did not complete due to conflict ; but interactive notification of the affected files made it easy to remove and try again. Interesting to note, I used su to do some things and when I logged out it errored about a child process and would not logout.
Once I used sudo once it then gave options to logout, reboot...etc.
Great video. I'll be reviewing it again .
If you installing on UEFI system, you should also change the partition (in this case /dev/sdc1) type to ESP. Otherwise you'll have a problem when installing bootloader.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@akn3207 That's on fdisk, yes.
Technically, the last line in /etc/hosts should be "127.0.1.1 ..." , not "127.0.0.1 ..." . To satisfy fussy software requirements. Artix looks cool. I've tried Void for the runit similarly. Nice work.
yeah, i hoped someone else caught that
I wonder if this is one reason why I can't multi boot on my system. I didn't know I was suppose to format my boot partition in fat32.
I have Arco on my main. I am now installing Artix on my laptop. I believe this is the route to go, but I will have my fun testing this
Really enjoy your channel and how much of a massive red pill you are. I installed Artix this morning since you have shed light on systemd, after following the Artix install guide and this video I have an error upon booting up into the system after finishing the installation seems my run level isn't being set right or something with a symlink to /runit/default cannot be founs in the file directory. I saw a post on this in the artix forum but I didn't see a resolution wss wondering if you came across this? I can go down the rabbit whole of trlubleshooting but I was just wondering if the install guide for using runit isn't correct
Instead of typing 'clean' you can just press CTRL + L
My question is on VB it seems specific to runit distros or kde plasma setups on both this and void the display goes to 1024 x 768 and it defaults and can't be changed. I've def looked for documentation on it and tried many things, all I can say is don't try to use sddm your screen goes black and that's it, can't find any good info to fix this problem.
@Luke Smith Thanks for making me aware of the systemd issue at all. I used GNU/Linux years back, before systemd was even a thing, and wanted to install it again, then this video popped up in my recommended videos. A Google search revealed this entire clusterfuck further. Of course I installed Artix!
just curious does artix's dbus have autolaunch because arch linux has orphaned the dbus-x11 package on the AUR and im looking for a distro with autolaunch
Luke, I have one powerful PC, installed Artix and I'm happy. But need some software like TeamViewer to reach that PC since I'm using a shared internet and router administration rights are not in my hand. How can I reach the machine when I am away?
So I've run into this issue, at 12:40 when trying to run "mount /dev/sda2/mnt", the system replies: "unknown filesystem type 'ext4'."
Does anyone know how to resolve this? Online it says something about updating the kernel and rebooting but I'm booting from a flash drive
"cat /proc/ filesystems" and "lsmod | grep ext4" don't yield any ext4 results
Hey, I'm using a ThinkPad x200s. I followed all your instructions but am getting the same error: EFI variables are not supported on this system. Did you mange to fix the error? (I'm not using a Virtual Machine btw)
what's the name of the sound mixer he shows in the beginning? upd: right, it's pulsemixer, didnt see the title in dmenu
Hi, Luke. Have You tried use btrfs filesystem? It has nice feature - subvolume. It have separate mount point, and it behave like dynamically expanding partition :) using btrfs for several years, and now the project seems mature enough. Meybe be handy )
Q: Can i install pacstrap on another distro so i can make an hard drive a bootable arch linux instance from f.e. debian?
It says it should automatically connect to the internet through my ethernet connection but it doesn't.
Actually I don't think Ubuntu installer even separates the root and home partition by default.
Important to note: Current Artix (and Arch) boot ISO images do not support UEFI Secure Boot (wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot#Booting_an_installation_medium), and will not boot on a system with it enabled. The recommended solution is to disable UEFI Secure Boot. @luke, does the target UEFI-enabled system have Secure Boot enabled in this instance?
im testing the install on an Hp -2000 series notebook. Grub will not initialize on boot. must turn off secure boot and boot legacy only.
Where is the systemd version? (Yes this is a joke)
Guys, just to let you know, artools-chroot is now replaced with artix-chroot
thank you 🙏
Hey, how do you get basestrap? it just says bash: basestrap: command not found
Hey Luke, i decided to follow steps and install ART, but have some problem for now. I can't install things from arch, like sxiv etc, because i dont have Arch repos added. I tried to manually edit pacman.conf, and get error while updating, also tried pacman -S artix-archlinux-support, it says not found. Please help :D sorry for my english btw :D
I am unsure about where you used you iso here?
According to me, I think you used artlinux-live or something like that for installation scripts instead of your iso, so did it downloaded whole system again when you ran basestrap command or what?
That couch. Oh no!
And yet he tells us not to coom to porn. smh
Followed the guide word by word, still couldn't boot into the OS. Gotta love the user experience linux provides.
Also, archtools-chroot is updated to `artix-tools`.
While partitioning the disk and the disklabel type shows dos, then create a gpt partition table with g if installing for UIEFI
DAMNIT I just followed a different person's install video to practice in a VM and look here you are.
Hi Luke, is it in your plans to talk about BTRFS? Thanks :)
I wonder if anyone can answer me this. Say if I want to install a user friendly version of Linux for someone who's new to Linux, and I want them to use an Arch based distro. Would Manjaro or Artix be better?
Like apart from Artix not using SystemD and having more variety with Desktop Environments compared to Manjaro, are there any big differences between the two? As I might use their LXQT DE if someone's PC is too weak to run KDE.
As a side question, is there a reason to learn GenToo apart from improving your Linux skills? I'd like to step-up to the challenge of installing GenToo, but I feel like it might be a waste since no casual would want to learn it, nor know how to use it. At least with Arch there's a couple Distros based off of it that can make noob user more comfortable.
artix because you can have more customization
Can I use AUR normally with Artix?
Yes
cheers for the vid., just made sense of a base .iso install. thanks!
Steam doesnt seem to be available default in Artix via stock pacman
Hey Luke, what are the practical benefits to using a non SystemD init system? I just swiped to Arch from Windows a few months ago and life has been good. Everything seems fine, but maybe I am too novice to really understand what the point of changing init systems would be. Thanks :)
Slightly faster boot times
@@BCDeshiG Is that the only reason? I essentially never reboot my computer really so that seems less relevant to me I guess.
Is it a good idea to first mount the flash drive to /mnt/usb for example and then run `dd`? In this way there is much less change of getting things totally wrong
Personally I like using Ventoy. Get a large capacity USB drive and install ventoy and you can use it normally as a flash drive but you can also boot from any iso stored on it.
Nice video, and I'd like to ask you if you know about f2fs? at 10:56 you are using ext4... seems that f2fs is gentlier on SSDs in general, thanks for this video, I was really curious about artix
another thing I do is to remove relatime and use lazytime on the fstab...
Is that going to work with secure boot? I had a lot of problems getting Ubuntu to secure boot alongside windows 7.
No swap partition?
P.S artools-chroot has been replaced with artix-chroot if anyone's flashing this now :)
Installed your larbs in artix linux but it's Not working properly
I can't figure out if I want to go Artix, gentoo, or void
Why runit over openrc?
I follow every step but on fresh install it keep giving me password error eventhough I type the correct password, any idea and help is appreciated
@Owen Carey yes log in as root user. But the problem is solved, I boot in live media and chroot into the root partition, change the password again and finally reboot I can log in. Phew what a day, thanks for asking man
anybody know if he has a tutorial on setting up efi dual boots like he as talking about around 26 min?
Hey need some help with runit, I have installed `networkmanager-runit` but `NetworkManager` is not launched at startup, I still have to `sudo NetworkManager` to activate it, quite boring.
I noticed that the `run` script from networkmanager-runit isn't ran, what should I do ?

THANKS-- I have it on my VENTOY and was thinking of using it with my Sparky... as backup- one or the other.. I need to learn more ARCH stuff though- for command line. I don't even know how to install software.. and all the letters don't make sense to me.

is it possible to install it from an existing Debian based distro? The USB ports of my crappy laptop don't work and I have an extra empty SSD drive on which I want to install artix. Any suggestions on how to bootstrap ?
I'm not sure about Artix but there is this thingy that'll let you boostrap Arch: github.com/tokland/arch-bootstrap
Luke, why is it that you don't use freebsd or Openbsd?
/ partition
/home partition

... please tell me Artix will boot off lvm2
Rumor has it most FATs can be used for the EFI partition, original or the long filename versions[vFAT] of 12, 16, and 32. Original only does "8.3" filenames.
My grub2 based system only has 4MB in the EFI partition at the moment.
Creating a FAT32 may act a fool if the cluster count is less than 65525 (just under 2^16), this is because some ancient systems deduced the FAT type from cluster count. (FAT type has been part of metadata for decades now.)
I like to use 4k sectors[blocks] as most modern drives are physically 4k blocks even if they use their cache to pretend they are 512B. Which makes the minimum FAT32 256MiB with cluster size of 1 sector. FAT16 with 4k sectors is good from 16MiB up to 4GiB [2GB in the mid 80's version].
If you setup so that only the bootloader is in the EFI, you don't need anywhere near 256MB(16MB will do). If your setup keeps kernel images and stubs on the EFI partition and you multi-boot and play with several kernels per distro then you may want more than that like 70-100MB each kernel. Add 32MB if there will be a Windows bootloader.
I can choose between uefi or bios on my relatively new thinkpad. I have one sad with 240gb space. Installed Artix s6 yesterday believing I was on uefi but the grub install made me double check and I was in fact on legacy. What should I choose?
it's the same
I like Artix, it’s great, but I like void more. Void is amazing.
Slack ware is god tier
major help incase anybody wants you can probably (it does work with LXDE and thus assume it works with the other desktop varations) you can do the base install from one the desktop live installs which I think you shoulld do if you are going to unto a device that doesn't have an ethernet or busted ethernet port, like a chromebook, since those include software that lets you quickly set-up the a wireless connection without any hassel.
Do you not normally allocate a swap partition? Is there a particular reason not to?
