   * ''/boot'' boot partition, 512MiB is the minimum size it should be, fs is FAT32 (required for efi systems)

-  * ''[SWAP]'' should be the same size as your system memory((Some people reccomend double, but I've never seen that in the wild)) but I usually just set it to half my total mem size.

+==== Universe Repository ====
 Artix has some nice community-maintained packages in the upstream ''universe'' repository. This often contains software not in the arch ''community'' repository (as we will cover later), so its nice to have. However, this is //not// enabled by default, you will have to add it yourself.

Then append the following line **AFTER** all the artix repo declarations in ''/etc/pacman.conf'':
