The Artix development team has announced the release of a new version of Artix Linux, a set of Arch-based, rolling-release distributions with a choice of four init systems (Dinit, OpenRC, runit and s6) and six desktops (Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Xfce). Artix Linux 20260402 switches the X window system from X.Org to XLibre and the audio server from PulseAudio to PipeWire: "We are pleased to announce the first official release for 2026. The first official release for 2026 comes with kernel 6.19.10 and the latest versions of software at the time of release. As usual, we provide a wide range of installation desktops and init systems, suited to all levels of Linux experience - from base profiles installable from command-line to the fully-equipped community editions which offer a complete desktop setup. All settings have been updated to the newest releases of their respective DEs and applications. The default X server now is XLibre; X.Org is still packaged and available for installation. The default audio system is no longer PulseAudio; we bundle PipeWire in the ISO images." Read the release announcement and the release notes for more details.
