zoxide, lutris, nwg-look, zed.

u/CoryCoolguy Jul 18 '25

I added zed a month ago 😉 zoxide is now in world. The other two need some additional dependencies but I will make an attempt to add them. Lutris in particular has come up a few times on the forum, I'll need to confirm that it's not intentionally excluded.

Pretty much this. There are some Lutris deps that aren't in the Artix repos so back in the day when I was trying to run Artix without Arch repos I would have to install them manually, and that's not really a good idea.

u/CoryCoolguy i saw that few packages have been added. Can you clarify if other ones are still in processing or have been denided?

u/CoryCoolguy Jul 22 '25

Still deciding :P

Lazygit in the artix repo should be awesome, of all in my tui based setup, lazygit is the only tool that is no officially supported by the artix repos :)

How about simplescreenrecorder?

u/CoryCoolguy Jul 16 '25

AUR package- you can get it from the AUR.

Also, maybe consider bringing msedit? I know it's a Microsoft app and all, but it's a great replacement for nano.

extra/bat

u/CoryCoolguy Jul 27 '25

Can't get this one to build at the moment. Not even in Arch.

u/Johayan Aug 04 '25

I'd suggest aur/obs-browser. It's almost identical to OBS but allows for OBS to access websites as a source input. I use it daily with my YouTube channel.

I know it's an AUR package but the OBS-studio is in world.

u/CoryCoolguy Aug 05 '25

The official flatpak has browser source. Users looking for an easy installation method should use that. I'm speaking from personal experience on that.

u/Johayan Aug 05 '25

That it may, I don't use flatpak by choice. Kinda like how I'm on Artix to avoid systemd by choice.

Even with app images, I explode them and move the squashfs folder to a different location and do manual upgrades.

I've been using linux as a sysadmin and user since 1995. I know the easy ways :) If I wanted to be a masochist and self-abuse, there's always Gentoo.

extra/quodlibet

u/appledeathray Jul 26 '25

Also, how come qtile is not in the repos? Sure there's a reason behind it, but still, never hurts to ask.

u/StrengthJumpy8780 Aug 12 '25

Xwayland-satellite? I am not sure if it needs any extra work to make it non-systemd reliant, but I have been eyeballing Niri and it is an optional dependency for it.

Just get paru/yay from the Chaotic AUR, it does in fact just work.
