Artix for desktop, Alpine for servers.
Now you made me look up Artix. Which is 81 in the top 100 in Distrowatch. Oh, it's a fork of Manjaro/Arch. I liked Manjaro on my ARM Laptop. Most software I use is easier to install from .deb or .rpm though so I tend to stick to Debian-based. https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20210308#artix
Artix is a fork of Arch that uses different initialization systems such as Open-RC instead of SystemD. Artix exists because people believe that SystemD is bloated, which it arguably is. And that SystemD doesn't respect the Unix philosophy.
Yeah, I grew up with SystemV init in AT&T System V in the 80s and variants. The needed to learn systemd which I now understand.
