I recently installed Artix Linux, with OpenRC, onto a old laptop of mine, and I installed NM alongside the applet. Also installed dhcpcd. The issue, is that, when i do sudo rc-update add NetworkManager AND sudo rc-service NetworkManager start , the logs say a warning that NetworkManager has started, hoever, the service will be inactive until it connects to the Internet. The only problem, is that when I do try to connect to Wi-Fi, the applet says NetworkManager has not started. TYSM to anybody that could help :3
