From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I switched from Arch Linux to Artix Linux to test a distribution without systemd. For now, it works pretty good and I do like.
Advantages... I don't see many, as systemd also runs pretty fast, I don't notice some extra seconds or milliseconds. I think the only thing I could like about not using systemd is that now I have more UNIX style RC, and the fallback DNS isn't set to Cloudflare by default. A part of that I had some issues I needed to fix, but I also enjoy learning new stuff so isn't an issue for me, I do like.
Void linux is also very nice for the same case
I see, not Arch based so much more unique distro. Thanks for sharing.
Void Glibc is my second-favourite distro. Awesome choice.
