When installing using Artix it says it isn't a Arch or Arch-based distro but it is.

Alternatives considered

Download install.sh and modify the pre flight check

You were right, that was a bug. Fixed in 507e3ad.

Artix doesn't set ID_LIKE=arch, and the old check missed it. It now
parses ID/ID_LIKE properly, so Arch, Manjaro, CachyOS, EndeavourOS
and Artix are all detected.

Note: Artix isn't systemd-based, so uwsm and session locking won't
work there. The installer now warns when there's no systemd.
