Most of of what you write is factually incorrect.<br>
If you create a forum post, or explain an issue clearly in a chat,
people will be willing to help.<br>
If you post the same trash repeatedly under different proton
accounts chances are you will be ignored, again.<br>

<div style="padding-bottom:10px;!importan:!important"> <span>I
tested the latest ISOs from September. Artix has nasty
bugs. Other Arch</span>
<div><span>derivatives simply work. Only Artix introduced
these showstopping "bugs".</span></div>
<div><span>What happened?!</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>1. KDE is missing keyboard shortcuts. I assume
KDE was compiled without keyboard shortcuts flag. Ouch!
Result: keyboard shortcuts don't work. (I have never,
ever met this "bug" in any other distro, neither Arch
derivative nor other).</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>2. Regression: sound is not working anymore.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>Info from KDE's tray sound icon: "Connection to
Audio Sound Service Lost". This means, that audio server
doesn't work. </span></div>
<div><span>Assuming pulse being the default, I ripped it out
and installed pipewire. Manually started it (runit), but
still got: "Connection to Audio Sound Service Lost".
Audio doesn't work on Artix anymore.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>3. $ pacman -Ss pipewire results in:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>pipewire-dinit - present</span></div>
<div><span>pipewire-openrc - present</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>pipewire-pulse-dinit - present</span></div>
<div><span>pipewire-pulse-openrc - present</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>wireplumber-dinit -present</span></div>
<div><span>wireplumber-openrc - present</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>pipewire-runit - missing, ouch!</span></div>
<div><span>pipewire-pulse-runit - missing, ouch!</span></div>
<div><span>wireplumber-runit - missing, ouch!</span></div>
<div><span>*Users must manually start pipwire, after each
login, if they want to use runit.</span></div>
<div><span>Runit is simple and fast and should be "the first
class citizen". Perhaps, even the default.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>Others:</span></div>
<div><span>$ pacman -Ss pipewire S6</span></div>
<div><span>$ no results</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>Expected results:</span></div>
<div><span>1. Compile Artix KDE with keyboard shortcuts flag
included, so shortcuts work, just like with 100% other
KDE distros. Only Artix doesn't have KDE shortcuts.</span></div>
<div><span>2. & 3. Fix sound regression, so you won't
have to hide the sound icon anymore. Make pipewire the
default sound server that does start with the system,
including runit service manager. Unhide the sound icon.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>---</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>My final thoughts:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>Provide pure, clean, default KDE without any
changes with Xlibre and runit as a weekly ISO image.
This way you will get more than two birds with one
stone:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>1. Users will be able to test Artix with Xlibre
(which everyone hopes will be the default, seeing the
great changes for quality speed and rendering);</span></div>
<div><span>2. Users will receive Artix with pure, clean KDE
to configure as they please without the necessity of
hacking and reverting Artix devs personal changes to the
system; quicker and more sane);</span></div>
<div><span>3. Users will be able to test other service
managers beside Artix default OpenRC (as it turns out,
some, like runit, are incomplete in Artix and Artix with
runit cannot be used as a daily driver, which is sad as
runit is fast and the simplest of them all);</span></div>
<div><span>4. Artix will attract more users. More users =
more bug reports. Bugs you may miss and not be aware of.
And trust me, users yearn for non-woke distro, esp. with
Xlibre. Let me tell you: when one of the most hated
youtubers (when just only his name is mentioned on any
forum, being either a distro, GNOME or any other linux
related forum, the user who mentioned his name is
immediately, automatically "purged". That how hated he
is.) was contacted by one of the distro declaring being
non-woke, and he mentioned it, the user base
skyrocketed. And when the users invest their time, they
surely report bugs. Reusult: stable, working system. And
some may even propose and submit fixes. Everyone
benefits. Stable system always win.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>So close, but not yet there: No systemd Artix +
clean, correctly compiled KDE + Xlibre + working runit.
This would be worth a headline! So close, so close...,
but still not there :(.</span></div>
