Re: probably will stick with runit

Agree with the two posts above. I don't really care whether anyone uses OpenRC, runit, s6, 66, or even dinit. Artix exists not to force/encourage anyone into one specific init system.
The reason I implemented runit in Artix in the first place was an interest in alternative implementations of something, and to see if it works in a typical Arch system or not (and I want to see it for myself). So is the reason of me implementing dinit.
If I have no interest in alternative implementations (like dinit, or heck, runit in the first place) at all, I'll probably use plain systemd Arch. (I have no problem with it strictly speaking only the service management part, but it's way too complex (even more than s6) for my liking (and other problems aside of the service management part, which many, many people especially Artix users should already know), besides, the "big" distros use it, so I don't have to implement it).
In any case, pick any from the 5 init+service managers we currently actively support, and enjoy it. I like runit with the good and bad, and I also like dinit, with the good and bad. But for now, since Artix dinit implementation is still in its infancy, I decided to focus on it to see if I can polish it. Enjoy runit on Artix!
