Arch vs. Arch Linux vs. Artix Linux vs. JavaScript Comparison Chart

​Arch is an intelligent gateway designed to protect, observe, and personalize AI agents through seamless integration with your APIs. Built on Envoy Proxy, Arch offers secure handling, intelligent routing, robust observability, and integration with backend systems, all external to business logic. It features an out-of-process architecture compatible with various application languages, enabling quick deployment and transparent upgrades. Engineered with specialized sub-billion parameter Large Language Models (LLMs), Arch excels in critical prompt-related tasks such as function calling for API personalization, prompt guards to prevent toxic or jailbreak prompts, and intent-drift detection to enhance retrieval accuracy and response efficiency. Arch extends Envoy's cluster subsystem to manage upstream connections to LLMs, providing resilient AI application development. It also serves as an edge gateway for AI applications, offering TLS termination, rate limiting, and prompt-based routing.

Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux. It uses real init systems because PID1 must be simple, secure, and stable. It is possible to install any init system (openrc, runit, s6, suite66, or dinit) from any ISO. Artix can either be installed through the console or the GUI installer. There are 3 different kinds of installation media Artix currently provides, base, graphical, and community. Unless you really know your way around Linux, use a community edition. The base installation can be performed from within any ISO; this may prove useful to people who have trouble getting their wireless network cards to work or for any reason need an active graphical environment during installation. You can also install a different init system than that of the installation medium. Base ISOs allow for a fully customised installation, which is done in a TTY and is intended for knowledgeable users.
