seems like running the script will tell you conflict with dinit and openrc.

Ah, the new init is alphabetically before openrc now and needs explicit installation. Should be fixed. now.

Artix no longer depends on any Arch repos to operate, artix-archlinux-support is redundant and not needed for the conversion. Updated.

The arch repos package have been moved over to the universe repo of artix
