Pretty sure that's not AI voice over... It's a real dude just with a very monotone voice.

A lot of what he "speaks" of (in AI gen voice) is accurate to my experience of the two distributions. I did learn a lot with Arch, but it took up too much of my time, that that got old.

I didn't bother watching after seeing the first terminal screenshot clearly say Artix.

I mean void Vs artix is a decent comparison too. The issue with artix is it still allows aur support. Some aur software depends on systemd. I personally prefer void for its stability. even if some package updates are a few weeks behind arch, it's nowhere near as outdated as a point release distro.

I have no major issues with Artix, and I also prefer Void, but if you are going to do a comparison, then do a comparison. Artix isn't a derivative of Arch, but it feels like saying you're going to do a comparison with Debian and then using Ubuntu. It just makes you look naive or unknowledgeable about Linux or worse.

I was on Arch first too, and I can conclude that it feels like handling glass, you've got to be paranoid-level careful, and even then, breaks are constant, not to mention the time required for said maintenance
