systemd runs most Linux desktops, but it is not the only way to boot one.
Artix Linux swaps systemd for OpenRC, runit or s6, giving a lighter init layer and more direct control over what starts at boot. The trade-off is manual setup: services, logging and device management need configuration that systemd otherwise handles. On Wayland with KDE Plasma the desktop feels familiar, so the difference sits mostly under the hood.
