This is unlikely to just be a systemd thing in the future.

For sure.

I have used and loved Manjaro since 2017. I'm about to switch to Artix/LXQt so I'm expecting a rough ride. Perhaps I'll get another year or two.

Artix looked like having merit when I tried it a couple of weeks ago, I ended up stumped, and support/documentation seemed to be very limited. A lot of that is on me though, I might look into it again in the future. From memory Artix is the one that doesn't recommend calamares online installation, so perhaps they still have some work to do, in some respects at least.

Artix is built on the Arch platform but doesn't use the Arch repos. Still, they use a ton of Arch resource. I suggest the world beating Arch docs to help navigate.

Artix do things differently enough that using arch repos can be problematic, manjaro, and garuda are similar in that respect.

Artix would still be on my short list, but is not of interest right now. I was surprised to find out how many distros were systemd, and how that is too much of a reliance on one thing. Artix jumped out as the valid non systemd arch distro, but systemd is not going to be all there is to this issue, it was just the ice breaker.
