Artix Linux has its own repositories, and it is not recommended by developers to use Arch packages due to differences such as naming conventions and contrasting init systems.
Arch OpenRC[6] and Manjaro OpenRC were started in 2012. In 2017,[7][8] these projects were split and Artix Linux was created.
