I look at it more like Artix exists to solve the one “problem” with Arch. As much as Arch is generally about user choice, the one thing it decided to be opinionated about was the mandatory use of systemd. Artix tries to follow Arch as closely as possible while providing the alternate init systems. I think that’s pretty cool, even if their hatred of systemd is childish.

In X11 you can just use ‘exec app-name’ and it will replace the terminal window with the app. In Wayland, I got it to work with this:

setsid app-name & disown
sleep 1
exit

Without the ‘sleep 1’, it exits the terminal too quickly for the app to launch, at least when I tried it.

*Edit: In order for it to work as a script, you still need to type exec first. Or, in my case, I aliased “open-app” to “exec open-app”.
