  Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well. So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

  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.
