What distro do you use?

Artix Linux, the xfce spin. Arch-based but more based, on account of having good choices for init systems - runit is just one of the choices offered. Artix is fully compatible with any Arch package, even ones that rely on systemd, thanks to a compatibility layer that translates between the interfaces.

Void Linux also uses runit I believe.

Both are focused on being more respectful of the UNIX philosophy while also being highly compatible with state of the art programs targeting a Linux environment.

Welcome! Another great UNIX system is OpenBSD (openBSD.org), but that's a whole other thing. It's the most UNIX philosophy respecting well maintained OS that exists, besides perhaps arguably Plan9 From Bell Labs. OpenBSD is also arguably the most secure OS in the world with native cryptosovereignty best practices built in by default. Void Linux takes a lot of inspiration from it while still being a GNU Linux system.

Unlike GNU (which uses copyright monopoly grants to enforce a distorted, socialist conception of intellectual property rights on its users, such as mandating by government force that all source code of derivative works be disclosed), the OpenBSD organization and developers are apolitical and do not use copyright laws to force their users to do anything, and their work is focused on security, simplicity, and usability for their own purposes.

GNU software has to be ported over to OpenBSD, and you can find these packages in the ports collection. It's a great OS for advanced users of UNIXlike systems.
