I have a work in progress guide: https://codeberg.org/AwesomeAdam54321/LL_Runit_Scripts >Runit Packages are already available in Ubuntu Repos.

To change the init, you can do that by adding the init=/sbin/runit-init parameter to the GRUB config, specifically the list of parameters that are given to the kernel. The init could also be set by changing the /sbin/init symlink to point to runit-init.
