  • You could implement plenty of ways to access it, Cloudflare is just one of them. I made this guide to achieve the goal of self-hosting matrix bridges for people who are already familiar with Cloudflare and have a domain behind it, but it’s not something that is mandatory to have for a similar setup.

    Cloudflare Tunnels are useful to connect to the server without exposing your ssh port to the internet, and Cloudflare Workers to add .well-known files for federation and Sliding Sync proxy if you don’t have a way to serve those files easily.





  • The default layout is what feels comfortable to me and I chose starfish because I used to use starship with zsh, so I went with something I was familiar with and didn’t think too much about it.

    I didn’t even know about tide until now but after a quick look I can’t find any groundbreaking differences in the layouts compared to starfish.


  • It really is just Arch with a different init system. There are no noticeable major differences. The faster bootup times are probably negligible.

    Of course I like the idea of minimalism and the unix philosophy, but the reason I chose Artix isn’t so philosophic. I was already using Arch on my laptop and wanted to install it on my desktop, but I enjoy trying to do harder things and learning in the process, so I ended up learning how to use a different init system… and I also did it because I liked the Artix logo better lol.

    I’m very happy with both Artix and Arch and while I wish systemd wasn’t almost a monopoly, at the end of the day everyone is free to use what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt the linux ecosystem for others.
