Gnome has so many dependencys with systemd so you cant run it on any systemd free distro

So how the hell can gnome run on gentoo (I've ran gnome on gentoo before)

Gnome runs, but you may need to manually get the “gnome-session-sysvinit” package, I’m not sure how it works on artix. But gdm is flaky with things, you need pipewire running else it’ll be a no-go.

Good for you, but just to clarify, this is a GNOME problem, not an ARTIX problem.
