It is worth mentioning that I've been using Artix Linux on desktops and
servers for quite a while now and it has been rock solid using openrc
instead of systemd. While not perfect (what system is), it has been a
pleasure to work with.

This is no longer a fly be night distro. It is more stable than most
systems I'd worked with.

they only support pacman and have nothing to do with Manjaro. It has
interoperatablilty with arch.

No, Artix and Manjaro share the root in Arch Linux. Most of the packages
Artix uses are from Arch Linux repositories, some packages are4 replaced
with Gentoo stuff to get some systemd depending stuff to work.

You use a rolling release on servers?

Years ago I would have agree with you. But now, I see new servers
obsolete by design and with the passing years it's worse. So a good
rolling distro up to date is really better than an old Cent OS which
needs to be patched for a security issue.

AUR is not the same as Arch Linux repository, the AUR is a collection of
build instructions from other users of Arch Linux and the different
forks of it.

The AUR can be compared to an unofficial overlay for Gentoo, just wish
it could be as smooth with updating AUR packages with pacman as with emerge.

Far less risky than do a dist upgrade on an EOL release. If you use
btrfs, you are many times the possibility to have automatic snapshots
made before updates applied, so you can rollback if something would have
gone really bad.

Depending on the distribution it's actually possible to choose
stable/unstabel/testing, so that you can be sure the updates are as
frequent and stables as you want.

There are AUR helpers one can use, e.g. yay, trizen, et al. And Pamac —
which was developed by and for Manjaro but is also used in other Arch
derivatives, and which is both GUI and command-line — can access the AUR
directly as well.

Must be an older image, Snit is 51 now, so... :)

1) Diesel / Gremlin in his incompetence included a picture of Chelsea
Manning in his harassment / doxxing file against me and said it might be
me.

2) Predictably others jumped in to back such trolling -- including chrisv
who said the image of Manning was of me (he dropped the maybe).

3) Sandman mindlessly jumped to saying said the image of Manning must
be an older on based on my age, as if my age has anything to do with her
image! When Sandman was called out it was easy to predict he would use
his own Usenet bot and deny his error and blame me. He did all three.

It is not like the mindlessness of those of you who troll me cannot be
predicted with great accuracy. :)

Yes, there are aur helpers, but those I have tried are IMHO half hearted
done solutions like trizen which require you to sudo for each package
you need to install and you don't really know what it will install until
the last package has been installed.

Using one that in AUR and not in your distros repository lead top next
issue, they may break and then you have to manually find if there is an
update and manually install it. Sure you can have multiple aur helpers
installed...
