If you insist on using slim you can look at this repository and build the package on your own (I am not sure how long we will archive it):
https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesS/slim-runit

Or you can write your own init script (I am still using xdm service for openrc together with slim, it seems obsolete things are made for each other)

Thanks. Will check it.

well, I tried and failed few times. Slim works great for me and I like it.
Keep in mind that not all new things are better.

I also like slim due to its minimal dependencies. It works great especially when you use WMs.

I use this for my slim/run script cat /etc/runit/sv/slim/run
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
#if we have ntpd and it hasn't synced yet don't start
sv check ntpd >/dev/null || exit 1
sv check elogind >/dev/null || exit 1
exec slim -nodaemon
