c-ludenberg 20a78051d6 docs: overhaul to match current repo reality (DE/DM selectors, SDDM pixie theme, overlays, offline installer, CI)
- index/installer/launcher: release facts, SDDM theme (pixie on master), init/DE selectors, NoExtract for Install Artix entry
- packages: branding pkg ships offline+online settings (no packagechooser.conf fallback), drop antergos-sddm-theme, correct repo index names
- overlays/overlay-root/overlay-live: root-overlay is live-session only, real file trees, symlinked settings.conf, commit reference
- desktop-environments/wallpapers: remove No Desktop option, video wallpaper via layan-theme + Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn
- ci/development/building: three workflows incl. ai-moderator, IA upload disabled (if:false)
- byode: new page documenting the SteamOS-inspired offline installer
- AGENTS.md/openrc: OpenRC was an installer-only dinit conflict; manual rc-update add works

# Desktop Environments
Available desktops in online mode, sourced from Artix repos.
## Plasma (KDE)
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | world |
| **Group** | `plasma` |
| **Session** | `plasma.desktop` (Wayland) / `plasmax11.desktop` (X11) |
| **Notes** | Default DE. Wayland is the default session. `plasma-wayland-session` is NOT a separate package on Artix — it's bundled in `plasma-workspace`. Includes `discover` (KDE's package manager GUI) |
## Xfce
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | galaxy |
| **Group** | `xfce4` |
| **Session** | `xfce.desktop` |
## Cinnamon
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | galaxy |
| **Packages** | Individual (no meta-group) |
| **Session** | `cinnamon.desktop` |
## MATE
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | galaxy |
| **Groups** | `mate` + `mate-extra` |
| **Session** | `mate.desktop` |
## LXQt
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | galaxy |
| **Group** | `lxqt` |
| **Session** | `lxqt.desktop` |
## i3
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | world |
| **Group** | `i3` |
| **Session** | `i3.desktop` |
## Sway
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | world |
| **Packages** | `sway` + related |
| **Session** | `sway.desktop` |
## Hyprland
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | world |
| **Packages** | `hyprland` |
| **Session** | `hyprland.desktop` |
## COSMIC
| | |
|---|---|
| **Repo** | galaxy |
| **Group** | `cosmic` |
| **Session** | `cosmic.desktop` |
| **Notes** | Rust-based, Wayland-native. Uses greetd + cosmic-greeter (not SDDM). Alpha quality, not for production. Select `greetd` in the display-manager chooser — `cosmic-greeter` requires the `greetd` daemon. |
## Not available
- **Budgie** — not in any Artix repo (system, world, galaxy, lib32). Slideshow entries removed.
- **GNOME** — dropped non-systemd support upstream. Not available.
- **No Desktop** — a "no desktop / base only" option does not exist in the installer. Pick a DE from the list above.
