I am installing Artix Linux after three years of Arch goodness. The supported init systems are openrc, runit, s6 and dinit. I have no idea which one to choose or not to choose. Please advise! :D

I am comfortable with troubleshooting on my own, reading manuals, tweaking configs and I know a little C. In case this helps you advise me. :)

I understand that openrc is well documented over at Gentoo, but other than that, I only have experience with systemd.

If you happen to choose OpenRC, I found this useful site for converting SystemD to OpenRC: http://openrc.run/

I only use Alpine Linux which comes with OpenRC so I don't have experiences with anything else to really give a reasonable suggestion. Just wanted to share what I found.
