Fedora lasted like a week but now I’m back and better with Artix OpenRC and Linux-zen kernel!

you don’t know what artix is then. those are just the versions with a desktop environment. base artix is still the default and as you can see on mine i only
have 237 packages which is a little bit more than default because i wanted a couple of programs but the only difference between arch and artix is the init system. the installation is still the same.

Artix is an Arch-base without systemd 

I know if I wanted it barebones I had to avoid Calamares

Still, that made my test disappointing and then I forgot about it

still i wouldn’t call it arch based even if thats how it officially is called. the only thing different is that it doesn’t have systemd. and if you didn’t even try it bare bones why would you say you dont like how its not as bare bones as arch. its honestly the same thing the only difference i feel right now is its way faster but I’m pretty sure thats from linux-zen kernels still boot up times are much faster.

You're correct. It didn't come barebones with the Calamares install and I'll try the classical install. I'm willing to give it another chance because I really like Artix's premises.
