I'm wondering if any of you guys are using it on artix, and how.  I would guess you include in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile a call for keybase, like:

I only looked at the program briefly, but it looks like it's a daemon to 
me and there's not any particular systemd dependencies or anything. On 
arch, it looks like it just comes with a systemd service file. For 
Artix, the proper way to do it would be to add it a service script (AKA 
an additional *-openrc/*-runit/*-s6 package). You could workaround it by 
just running it manually though.
