so github told me my repo has NO community standards apparently
CODE_OF_CONDUCT? nonexistent. ISSUE_TEMPLATES? nada.
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE? the void stared back.
and github profiles has a little checklist like im some
kind of degenerate who doesnt know how to run a project.
well NOW i have standards. and they are ROCK SOLID STABLE.
you want systemd? fork from before-systemd-change and figure
it out yourself, i gave you a numbered tutorial right in the
CoC. the AI moderator will read it and then politely but
firmly tell you to go fork yourself (the repo, not literally,
read the CoC).
also threw in the pixie SDDM switch that i apparently never
committed to the netinstall yamls either (kill me), the batch
install main.py cleanup, and fixed the README lying about
why artix.
DEUS VULT and please file your issues in the YAML forms
provided or the AI will judge you
why the FUCK did i think making an init selector was a good idea
artix themselves dont even ship services in their online installer
they just give you a bare system and say "figure it out" and
it WORKS because people can just install their init of choice
afterwards. but nooooo i had to be clever and build a whole
netinstall-add monstrosity with openrc/runit/s6 service groups
that broke constantly because basestrap --overwrite is a lie
and init packages conflict with each other and sddm-openrc +
lightdm-openrc both Provide: init-displaymanager and pacman
just goes 🖕 during install.
so anyway. dinit only now. you want something else? read
changing-init.md, i literally copied the artix wiki tutorial.
i am not maintaining four init service groups in netinstall.yaml
for the rest of my life. this is my villain origin story.
actual changes:
- ripped out offline calamares mode (was never truly offline)
- ripped out packagechooser.conf (good fucking riddance)
- added packagechooser_dm.conf so you can at least pick your DM
- added BYODE offline installer (bare system + btrfs + snapper,
no DE, you pacman -Sy plasma-meta yourself)
- added yay + snapper + btrfs-progs to rootfs
- shoved Init Services + DM groups into netinstall.yaml (dinit
only, obviously)
- updated every markdown file that mentioned another init like
they were cursed (they were)
- wrote changing-init.md so i can just paste the link next time
someone asks
- X-KDE-IsAdminApplication=true so KDE stops acting like
calamares is a virus (its not, its just desperate)
Place pipewire.desktop in root-overlay /etc/skel/.config/autostart/
so PipeWire starts via XDG autostart on login via the patched
artix-pipewire-launcher (now supports dinit in our pipewire fork).
Configure SDDM [Wayland] section with kwin_wayland compositor
command for a Wayland-native greeter display.
Includes:
- buildiso: antergos theme symlinked as artix for prepare_grub
- profile.yaml: dinit-user-spawn -> userspawn-dinit, added
dbus-dinit-user, pipewire-pulse-dinit, userspawn-dinit to livefs,
antergos-lsb-release
- services-artix.conf: dinit-user-spawn -> userspawn
- basestrap.conf: xlibre-xserver for online install
- pacman.conf: IgnorePkg xorg-server to avoid conflict with xlibre
- sddm.conf: Wayland compositor command
- common.yaml: cleanup (dedup lsb-release, vi->ex-vi-compat,
remove artix-grub-theme, jack2, noto-fonts-emoji)
- iso-x86_64.conf: IgnorePkg xorg-server for ISO build
xlibre-xserver is the modern Artix unified X server that provides
both x11win-server (required by SDDM) and xorg-server (required by
all DEs). Setting use-xlibre: false caused the old split packages
(x11win-server from system repo vs xorg-server from world repo) to
conflict during online installs when users selected SDDM + any DE
that pulls xorg-server/xlibre-xserver.
Switched both full and minimal profiles to use-xlibre: true.
basestrap module (from calamares-extensions) reads netinstallAdd only
for the init provider name (e.g. 'dinit') to add elogind-dinit. It
does NOT install the subgroup packages from the user's packagechooser
selection (networkmanager-dinit, pipewire-dinit, etc.). So these were
selected in the GUI but never present in the target system.
Since the netinstall view's packageOperations -> packages module flow
works correctly, move all required *-dinit service packages into the
netinstall.yaml Default group (online) and profile.yaml rootfs (offline).
Also revert settings.conf back to services-artix + postcfg — these
modules DO exist (from calamares-extensions) and work correctly when
the service packages are installed. Remove the unnecessary shellprocess
files that were added as a mistaken workaround.
add_svc_dinit() in services.sh creates boot.d symlinks for each service
listed in live-session: services: — but only if the service file exists
at /etc/dinit.d/<name>. Without the -dinit packages installed in the
livefs, all services were silently skipped and the display manager
never started.
Add acpid-dinit, bluez-dinit, cronie-dinit, cups-dinit,
networkmanager-dinit, power-profiles-daemon-dinit, sddm-dinit,
syslog-ng-dinit, dbus-dinit, pipewire-dinit, wireplumber-dinit
All approaches to keep OpenRC as default failed:
- --ignore: pacman ignores it during fresh install provider resolution
- --assume-installed=init-logind: ALPM doesn't check assume-installed for virtual providers
- --ask=12: infinite loop (pacman re-adds elogind-dinit after each removal)
- dummy package in custom repo: init-rc conflict hits via different path
Dinit works because pacman --noconfirm naturally picks elogind-dinit
(alphabetically before elogind-openrc), pulling dinit-rc which has no
conflict. All inits (OpenRC, Runit, S6) remain selectable in the
online installer.
Changes:
- buildiso: INITSYS='dinit', remove --assume-installed/--ask hacks
- basestrap/main.py, packages/main.py: remove same hacks
- profile.yaml: antergos-live-dinit for dinit, move openrc pkg to init-specific
- packagechooser.conf (x2): default=Dinit, Dinit first in item list
- packagechooser_dm.conf: *-dinit instead of *-openrc
- README.md, README.pl.md, docs/*: update all OpenRC-first references
- AGENTS.md: document dinit as default
Replace antergos-next-memes with:
- antergos-next-desktop-settings — Qt5/Qt6 color configs, kdeglobals
- antergos-plasma-theme — plasma desktop theme + look-and-feel + splash
- antergos-sddm-theme — SDDM login theme with built-in background
Calamares branding is set before these in package order per critical
gotcha (branding overwrites Calamares defaults).
- buildiso: copy Antergos GRUB theme to ISO boot directory
- profile.yaml: add antergos-grub-theme to rootfs packages
- netinstall: move antergos-grub-theme from optional Style to mandatory Default group
- main.xml: set Antergos wallpaper as KDE system default
- set-antergos-wallpaper.sh: add QDbus fallback, wait for plasmashell
- .gitignore: ignore linux-next/ and winver/
- netinstall.yaml: add 'Desktop' group with 8 DEs as subgroups
(Plasma default-selected, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3,
Sway, Hyprland) — users pick their DE during online install
- profile.yaml: move KDE Plasma (plasma group + apps) from
rootfs/packages to livefs/packages so it's only installed
when user selects it in netinstall; rootfs now has only
DE-neutral packages (firefox, calamares, libs, etc.)
- antergos-wallpapers now installed into rootfs so the KDE wallpaper picker
shows the Antergos wallpaper automatically (package installs to
/usr/share/wallpapers/antergos-wallpaper/ with metadata.desktop).
- Restored calamares-config-switcher.desktop in live-overlay with
NoDisplay=true to hide 'Install Artix' from the app menu. Previous deletion
exposed the package version, making it visible again.
Strip out archiso (airootfs, efiboot, syslinux, mkarchiso, prepare.sh,
Dockerfile, mirrorlist, profiledef.sh, packages.x86_64, reset.sh,
run_before_squashfs.sh) and adopt artools buildiso with full antergos
iso-profiles. Bitch, you NEED therapy.
Are you threatening me?
- 154 files changed, 2804 insertions, 7352 deletions
- buildiso wrapper + iso-profiles/antergos/ (profile.yaml, root-overlay,
live-overlay) + iso-profiles/common/common.yaml
- pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf with antergos-pkgs repo first
...Are you THREATENING me in SKECHERS?!
- Calamares offline + online module dirs, antergos-next branding
- componentName must match dir or Branding.cpp goes full T-square
- calamares before calamares-branding-antergos-next so --overwrite='*'
wins correctly. YOU'RE ON YOUR FOURTH WIFE RIGHT NOW-
- calamares-next.desktop in live-overlay (/usr/share + /etc/skel/Desktop)
- netinstall.yaml bundled. No remote deps. Kill that bitch (Cnchi).
What fuckin' college would care if you drew some bullshit picture
about your feelings?
- CI: artixlinux/artixlinux:base container, install artools, buildiso -p
antergos, IA upload with collection=open_source_software. Class is in
session. Maybe I should grow 40 feet! Then you'd REALLY like me!
- IA: mediatype=software keeps us out of Community Texts jail. The
question is; what's this stick gonna do?
It's honestly super humbling, when the trashiest repo you know;
probably coked out of its mind... says the most thoughtful thing
you've done in years.
- README.md rewritten with Artix/OpenRC/KDE badges, build instructions,
migration notes. Nice SpongeBob impression. ...Nice SpongeBob impression.
- AGENTS.md updated (identity ritual, gotchas, commands, repo layout)
- Restore LICENSE, NOTICES, APOLOGY.txt, CHANGELOG.md from git history.
Some files you just don't let die. No matter what, you NEVER use that
N-word! (...should've said nothing.)
- .gitignore: work/ iso/ out/. Go work at Starbucks with your little apron.
So laugh all you want. Forget about me all you want. But at least
I'll be gorgeous forever. Mother, I'm in the SquashFS now.
