Which is the favorite init of Artix Linux users.

Hello Everybody. I want to know what is the most popular init here. This is not a competition about which one is better or something like that. I just want to know which reasons made you to decide the init because I like trying different alternatives and I might try another one in the future.

So, I decided S6 because I read about Systemd alternatives and I read all the S6 documentation, of course I understood only 30 or 40% of the information but I liked the way they explained how a init should be. Another reason I chose S6 was because of docker integration:

I am using runit now.
But.
I want to migrate from runit to openrc. I heard that runit is an openrc add-on.
