Sweet! If and when Arch implements age verification, Artix is where I’m seeking asylum.
A question: I have a fair understanding of Linux - been using it for five years - but only with systemd. Is it hard to transition to other init solutions? Is one better than the others? What about sysVinit?

Its a learning curve for sure, I’m still learning it myself. Openrc seemed to be fairly popular, so thats why I started with that. There is a few changes such as not using service files and instead using crob jobs, seeing the logs of your tasks need to be hooked into using syslog-ng to consolidate the logs. I’m still learning how you see stuff like the service status etc. Its been fun learning something new again, and writing a script like this to set it all up for me has been a great way to learn it all.
