There is more than one Linux distribution that's designed to work without systemd.


Notably Gentoo. Any others?


Devuan, which is basically Debian without systemd.


Slackware. It has always had a bit of *BSD flavoring in it, too.


Void is pretty cool.


Alpine, Artix


Guix uses its own custom 'Shepherd' init system.


PCLinuxOS (a Mandrake/Mandriva fork) uses SysV.


Debian. No systemd, no issue :p
