[artix-general] Artix Has Nasty Bugs

[artist]

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