the best init you can use on Artix is OpenRC. It's neat enough for you to rc-update delete udev, elogind and dbus

Devuan lets you use SysVinit which is ideal, you run ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d
find /etc/rc?.d/ -type l -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*udev*" -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*elogind*" -delete
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name "*dbus*" -delete
and edit /etc/rc.local manually

In Gentoo things are simpler, you write USE="-udev -elogind -dbus"

Void takes it a step further you rm the symlinks for udev, elogind and dbus from /var/service/

Slackware is the best because you simply run chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev, chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.elogind, and rc.messagebus can be disabled in initialisation but just make sure its executable bit is also flipped off.

Stupid question , So if I install void musl with runit , I still have to GI through these steps to remove the Sys D 'virus' ?

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:5 N:7 C:9 | The post directly engages with the thread's theme by comparing Linux distributions based on UNIX philosophy. It's a concise and relevant contribution.
I don't like void but slackware is the closest linux to UNIX philosophy there is.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:8 C:9 | The user is asking for a practical comparison of init systems and their implications for system functionality. The question is well-formed and directly addresses the practical concerns raised in the thread.
I don't like SystemDware but don't things just not work without udev/elogind/dbus?
What's it actually like? I don't mind writing scripts to get around limitations, but how would you do things like have a screensaver that doesn't start when you're playing a video?

I quite liked dinit. It feels nice to use and doesn't insist on doing fucking everything like systemd does.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:8 C:9 | The user asks a valid, deep question about init systems. The context is technical and the response should be a detailed comparison of user experience vs. technical implementation.

I've been hearing about dinit recently, but I didn't get the point of it. How it is better than any other init systems (s6, openrc, runit) that exists today.?And I'm aware that dinit project publicated some comparison between all these different systems, but it is mainly about the tech side and how and what things are implemented, but not about the user experience part. I am not aware of any linux distributions that uses dinit, to easily try it out in virtual machine. Why did you choose dinit over plethora of init systems that exists today? Is it actually better?

[AutoMod] action=keep R:9 E:8 N:7 C:9 | This is a solid, well-articulated response to the thread. It clearly explains the benefits of Dinit's configuration structure effectively.
Dinit is nice because it uses very simple and clear configuration files on a per service basis. You put what the service is, what it depends on, and that's basically it.
Due to each service having their own service config file, its very easy to get a handle on what services you have and what they rely on to run.
I will say I've only used it on a laptop and haven't used it as a daily driver on my desktop, which is still Mint using systemd. I've felt like I may one day jump to either Artix or Void, but I haven't had time to distro hop yet.
