# Artix Migration (June 2026)
**Why:** The original Antergos used Arch Linux (systemd) with the custom Cnchi installer, both of which became unmaintained after the project ended in 2019. Artix Linux provides the same Arch-like Pacman ecosystem without systemd, using OpenRC as the default init — aligning with the original community's strong preference for init freedom. Calamares replaces Cnchi as a mature, upstream-supported installer framework. KDE Plasma replaces GNOME as the default desktop (GNOME dropped non-systemd support). The build system moved from archiso to artools (`buildiso`).
**Why:** Systemd became an ever-growing monolith — logind, resolved, timedated, homed, journald, networkd, and pushing age verification fields into the OS (birthDate fields pushed into the OS). GNOME 49+ dropped non-systemd code paths entirely, making it impossible to run without systemd. Artix Linux dropped GNOME in 2025 for this reason. Antergos NeXT left systemd before it could surveil its users. We chose Artix Linux (OpenRC) over Arch Linux (systemd), KDE Plasma over GNOME, Calamares over Cnchi (Python GTK4 codebase was unmaintainable), and artools over archiso.
Migrated from EndeavourOS-ISO (archiso) to Artix Linux (artools/buildiso).
