Switching Init Systems on Artix Linux: From OpenRC to runit
Learn how to switch from OpenRC to runit on Artix Linux using meta‑packages, verify the change, handle AUR compatibility, and roll back if needed.
OpenRC SSH daemon default listen-on-all-interfaces without firewall rule
The goal is to determine whether Artix Linux should apply a default network filter that limits incoming SSH connections to trusted interfaces or subnets while the OpenRC sshd service remains enabled by default. Currently, installing the openssh package starts sshd listening on 0.0.0.0:22 and :::22, and the base ISO does not activate nftables/iptables or a de
sshInit system migration: handling stale service symlinks after edition switch
Artix Linux allows users to transition between different init systems, such as moving from OpenRC to runit or s6. While the system binary changes, the package manager does not automatically purge the service configurations associated with the previous init system. This creates a state where legacy symlinks and scripts remain in directories like /etc/runlevel
