Title: [SOLVED] Which init system is Artis's default?
Post by: fehigax145 on 30 August 2020, 21:45:04
I'm confused because I actually thought OpenRC is default but wikipedia says that runit is the default one.

That's interesting - OpenRc is also the default:

But it's possible to have more than one default, as default is defined as usually singular:

Runit is the default init system for Void[9] and Artix Linux.
- This statement is true for Void, but not for Artix, as Artix doesn't have a default init. All three (OpenRC, Runit, S6) are equally well supported. It may just be that OpenRC was first (AFAIK), then along came Runit and recently S6 was added.

There's not really one, but if you had to pick one to call a default it would probably be openrc.

That's perhaps the best answer of all of them.  It'd be mine...and I am kind-of partial to runit for varying reasons (I maintain a port thereof, it's part of my day job, etc...).
