   Well ...... sticking to it won't HURT - and may
   improve stability/comprehension. Never really
   loved sysvinit but love isn't everything.

   I've found some good uses for systemd however -
   like the conditional starts, and built-in
   'watchdog'. Main complaint, the SYNTAX is SO
   damned picky - no "intelligence" - and good
   examples can be hard to find.

   Despite propaganda, systemd is NOT the hateful
   Winders registry. No evil intended. More 'complexity'
   alas. IF you can get it to work for you then it is
   a great thing.

   As for "Artix" - never used it. "Antix" yes, a fine
   minimal distro, and use its MX love child for almost
   everything. Still say MX is the Best Damned System
   for general use ever devised. Not too much, not
   too little, always helpful.

   MX ... one of the GRUB boot options is to ENABLE
   systemd. Of late I've had to customize boots to
   use that. Note that while normal updates don't
   mess with things the "dist-upgrade" equiv between
   related apps WILL undo that option and you have
   to use 'grub-customizer' to reset things. MX,
   maybe to its credit, sticks to sysvinit by default
   but DOES offer the alternative all easy.

   'Antix' seems to be writ by highly depressed
   commie Greeks. 'AntiCapitalista' is a theme
   that repeats :-)
