monsieur··on Obarun – Arch Linux based distro with skarnet s6/66 suite
Well i am obarun user but beginner so i can't give lots of insights. I know that artix uses systemd and systemd-libs dummy packages, because most of pkgs from arch have systemd in dependencies, which is completely useless... obarun doesnt provide these. You can grab a pkgbuild and remove systemd dependency and other stuff. Your best bet is to go on obarun forums and ask yourself also obarun provides it's own 66 suite https://web.obarun.org/software/

This init system obarun provides is bloody fast, you can configure your trees to suit your needs and your system will take 5 seconds to boot. Artix is a bit like ubuntu of non-systemd arch linux. This is obarun announcement that was removed from /linux reddit because it critises systemd https://sysdfree.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/linux-removes-o...

Arch Linux developers add systemd dependency to lot of packages, but reality is that for somebody like me who is obaruner, i have to edit PKGBUILD's and remove unneccessary systemd package and i manage to build and run them without without systemd This is why systemd is cancer, it forces arch devs to add unneccessary systemd deps and that makes life pain in the ass for somebody who uses non-systemd arch linux based distro. Others use dummy libsystemd, or dummy systemd but is it real solution, obarun doesnt provide dummies, so pkg codes are 'cleaner' Try to build some package that requiries systemd, remove it from dependencies and do it, you'll see lot of programs run fine without systemd!!! So why the hell arch linuxers add systemd dependency to almost everything they can??
