+<h2>Taking the leap to Artix</h2>
+<h3>2025-06-14</h3>
+<h4>systemd no more</h4>
+<p>Artix Linux is a distribution based on Arch, but without systemd.</p>
+<p>Seeing how systemd has become insidious within Linux it's no mean feat.</p>
+<p>After watching <a href="https://youtu.be/ZsCiqogu-bg">this video</a>, 
+and having read a lot of systemd warnings by old timers,
+I decided to try Artix. I prefer a rolling release distribution, and I like Arch a lot,
+so Artix was the logical choice.</p>
+<p>After the first hour of floundering around I got it working.</p>
+<p>For some reasong the default network manager was limiting network access, for example the Artix site 
+and my own site were ok, but reddit and duckduckgo were not allowed. I checked /etc/hosts but couldn't find 
+the culprit. In the end I removed ConnMan and installed networkmanager and it worked straight away. In addition 
+I can now use nmtui.</p>
+<p>There are still things to fix, for example the SLiM desktop manager no longer works, true it's ancient, 
+so I'll have to find a replacement Until then I'm just typing startx after logging in.</p>
+<p>I have dwm running, bluetooth and pipewire too, so it's just a question of fiddling around.</p>
