Artix Linux has its own package repositories but, as a pacman-based distribution, can use packages from Arch Linux repositories or any other derivative distribution, even packages explicitly depending on systemd. The Arch User Repository (AUR) can also be used.
Arch OpenRC[4] began in 2012[5] and Manjaro OpenRC was subsequently developed alongside it. In 2017[6][7] these projects merged to create Artix Linux.
