LOL If I want to form community or interact with people within said community, them being decent is a requirement...I didn't judge the distro as bad. As Artix itself is pretty solid if you look at it in a vacuum, a basic base that could be customized to one's content. There was the weird choice that they decided to go with Xlibre instead of just Xorg, if you had to go with a depreciated display manager (like wayland is right there, why ignore the diva of the hour). I honestly used a lot of flatpaks, so init/unit script weren't a huge deal. I only needed to write one and it wasn't terrible in my personal experience before I switched away. As runit was quite straightforward, uncomplicated, it just did what it said on the tin and nothing extra. It was weird that a goose on the loose like me could do it. ROFL
The trade-off is worth it given that I think systemd is just doing a little TOO much in my opinion, becoming a lynch pin and critical in too many parts of distros. To the point that certain programs won't work without it installed, I just feel something is wrong with that. Technically it works for now, but, it could go to shit if systemd decides to pull a mini-Google maneuver.
