Arch Linux (/ ɑːr tʃ /) [7] [8] [g] is an open source, rolling release Linux distribution. Arch Linux is kept up-to-date by regularly updating the individual pieces of software that it comprises. [9] Arch Linux is intentionally minimal, and is meant to be configured by the user during installation so they may add only what they require. [10]
Artix does not use systemd, instead opting to provide init and service management freedom. Artix offers OpenRC , runit , s6, and dinit [ 5 ] in place of systemd. 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.
systemd is configured exclusively via plain-text files although GUI tools such as systemd-manager are also available. systemd records initialization instructions for each daemon in a configuration file (referred to as a "unit file") that uses a declarative language , replacing the traditionally used per-daemon startup shell scripts .

Like its parent Gentoo, Calculate Linux does not use systemd and instead uses the OpenRC init system. [6] Calculate Linux includes a natively developed set of tools named Calculate Utilities, based on the Qt5 framework. [7] These tools offer the option to configure and update the system as well and assemble custom LiveCD images. [8]
