TurboArtix -- A systemd-less alternative to TurboArch

This script allows you to replace any Linux distribution with Artix Linux, preserving user data and some system configuration.

Note

This project is still under the development stage and may or may not work right now.

Quick start

Download and run required scripts:

git clone https://github.com/AFellowSpeedrunner/turboartix
cd turboartix
sudo bash turboartix.sh

This will ask some questions and begin the Artix installation. Data in /home, disk configuration (even with LVM and LUKS!), user accounts and passwords, sudo/wheel group will be preserved.

Important

Everything in /bin, /boot, /etc, /lib, /lib64, /sbin, /srv, /usr and /var will be permanently removed. Other directories will not be affected at all, and no partitions will be formatted.

Requirements

• Internet connection
• x86_64 Linux kernel version suitable for glibc in Artix (3.2+ for glibc version 2.39)
• grep, coreutils and util-linux
• bash version 4+
• wget or curl to download the Artix bootstrap, tar and xz to decompress bootstrap archive.

The installation process

If we get the project to actually be installable we'll write how this works under this section.

Tested distributions

None so far.
