When you use Artix Linux based on Arch Linux, and some of * Arch * Linux repositories are missing with pacman in your operation system, this post might be useful.
According to Artix Linux announcement, the repositories of [extra] / [community] are disabled by default:
Artix has reached the stage where it can operate without the help of the Arch repositories, including the preparation of its installation media.
As such, all new weekly ISO images will ship without [extra], [community] and [multilib] enabled in pacman.conf.
Here shows how to enable those repositories. Well, the detail is in Artix official wiki.
First, activate Universe repository:
# nvim /etc/pacman.conf
by appending the lines:
+ [universe]
+ Server = https://universe.artixlinux.org/$arch
+ Server = https://mirror1.artixlinux.org/universe/$arch
+ Server = https://mirror.pascalpuffke.de/artix-universe/$arch
+ Server = https://artixlinux.qontinuum.space/artixlinux/universe/os/$arch
+ Server = https://mirror1.cl.netactuate.com/artix/universe/$arch
+ Server = https://ftp.crifo.org/artix-universe/$arch
+ Server = https://artix.sakamoto.pl/universe/$arch
Then sync:
# pacman -Sy
Next, install artix-archlinux-support:
# pacman -Syu artix-archlinux-support

==> Add the arch repos in pacman.conf:
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
==> run: 'pacman-key --populate archlinux'
Next, edit pacman.conf:
# nvim /etc/pacman.conf
to append these lines:
+ #[testing]
+ #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
+
+
+ [extra]
+ Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
+
+
+ #[community-testing]
+ #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
+
+
+ [community]
+ Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
+
+
+ #[multilib-testing]
+ #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
+
+
+ #[multilib]
+ #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
Then, run the command:
# pacman-key --populate archlinux
The output was:
==> Appending keys from archlinux.gpg...
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2023-07-03
That's it.
It is able now to install a package in [extra] or [community] repositories such as Deno :)

Thank you very much sir, I've also made an account just to tell you how you've saved me months of frustrations of finding out that artix has no official support for any office suites.
