wrost message. I apologize.
Re-edit:
------------------------
This is very hard to read. Some of the problem I am sure is the
language barrier, and I commend you for your effort to write such a
lovely message in your non-native tongue. But some of it is something
else, I don't know what exactly. I understand that your would like
to see the support of more init processes, and I am sure the dev team
will look at the request and reply.
The second part about the number of ISO's, that I did not understand what
your are requesting.
Let me just say something about the AURs. The arch AURs can be very
useful, but even if you are using native Arch, they can be hit and miss.
Regardless of their short failings, they fulfil a great purpose for many kinds of software and allow users to build projects they care about without stepping on the core developers. I don't see it as a disadvantage. If anything, it is a huge advantage because it allows for a small development community to focus on core functionality and not have to build every kind of client software under the sun. The fact is that the artix dev community is relatively small. But they are also very accessible which is completely lost in large projects. So considering the alternatives, AURs or using freshmeat, I like the AURs.

EndeavourOS offers a great example about ho things should be done in my opinion : a only one Calamares ISO , where you can choose everything , the desktop , the display servers , the init system , the repos enabled (and now that xlibre is on the road, also the xserver implementation , if possible).
