Would Arch installer work on Artix with just changing the repos? I have no issues installing manually, but Arch installer is the fastest Linux installer available. It is much faster than any GUI installer, so VM's would benefit a lot.

I want to install Artix, but I'm having some problems.

First, I tried using the community KDE ISO. Install went fine and dandy. But I couldn't do pacman -Syu because of conflicts with libjdk or some such. I want to note that the Artix wiki says the ISOs are rebuilt every 2 weeks, but the most current ones are from last July. Are there more recent ISOs available?

So I tried doing it the hard way with the base install. I used the community ISO again to get the wireless working during the install, but when it gets to rebooting the laptop I don't have working wifi. This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.

/etc/conf.d/net has

modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlan0="dhcp"

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has

country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
     scan_ssid=1
     ssid="<my wifi network>"
     psk="<wifi password>"
}

This fails on bootup with

Bringing up interface wland0
  Caching network module dependencies
  Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
rfkill: WLAN soft blocked
rfkill: WLAN soft blocked
  dhcp ...
    running dhcpcd ...
dhcpcd-10.0.6 starting
dhcpcd_prestartinterface: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
wlan0: waiting for carrier
timed out
ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Why is my wlan0 soft blocked?

Dinit is really nice (wiki.artixlinux.org)

Although the artix dinit official support announcement was done like 2 years back, only now I tested it, since I felt comfortable with s6.

I have to say I really like it so far, :)

Not artix, but as artix is based on arch...

This is old, but perhpas some might have missed it, and ffmpeg-compat-58 is really saving the date...
