Pros
Pro Does not save IP Addresses or Hardware ID
Does not save IP Addresses or Hardware ID, Hardware ID is only used for banning people from the Linux Kodachi OS or Distro VPN Software if they abuse the download limit on it. The Hardware ID is not and can't be used and isn't given to anyone. The IP Addresses of people using the Linux Kodachi OS or Distro are not saved or anything either, What someone wrote on here about logging is fake news.
@Linux Kodachi OS or Distro Support Team.
Pro No systemd
Pro Runit
Artix actively supports the runit init system known from Void Linux. (Equally besides the OpenRC init system known from Gentoo).
Pro Close to bare Arch Linux
No learning curve if you're coming from Arch or any of its derivatives.
Pro Lightweight
Only the software you would need like Terminal emulator, file manager, media player and a browser.
Pro Compatible with Arch Repositories
It is fully compatible with almost all packages from community, extra, multilib and AUR.
Pro Rolling distro
Pro Flexibility
You can have a functional system in less than 10 mins using GUI installer OR you can do it "the Arch way".
Cons
Con Telemetry
Every time you connect Kodachi saves your Hardware ID and your IP-address.
Con No systemd
Some packages flat out won't work because systemd is non existent, sadly pipewire needs systemd to run. Hopefully Pipewire becomes usable soon. Edit: Pipewire does work but you will have to make a startup script.
Con Few Arch packages might not be available yet
Developers are working migrating all packages into their own repositories while ensuring there's no systemd malware.
