Post #1812609

I'm personally running Artix with runit and things are fine so far, but as ChrisG pointed out, dinit is basically a drop-in replacement for systemd syntax-wise. [Although if you're on Artix, you'll need to enable Arch's `[extra]` and `[multilib]` repos or you'll run into dependency issues on some apps due to some packages not being available in the main Artix repos. I learned this when trying to install `steam-native-runtime`, there were some Python deps which weren't available in the main Artix repos, but that *were* available in the Arch repos, if I'm remembering right.](https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Arch_repositories) Also, I recommend enabling the unofficial `[liquorix]` repo in order to get a newer kernel with more frequent updates than what Artix provides in their repos, eg. the default and zen kernels in the Artix repos lag a bit behind the lqx kernel from the `[liquorix]` repo, [and I still recommend enabling `[chaotic-aur]` as a convenience repo on *any* Arch distro.](https://aur.chaotic.cx/docs) I also switched to MATE from KDE out of concern that KDE could end up following GNOME's path after SDDM is deprecated, plus I just wanted a lighter and different desktop, that and MATE's default two-panel layout is completely usable from stock although you might wanna set the panels to auto-hide to maximize screen space.
