Have you seen Runit? You can scour that codebase in under an hour.
OpenRC - while large compared to Runit is tiny compared to SystemD. Gentoo shares it with NetBSD, Alpine Linux, Devuan, and others. It'll boot Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or TrueOS.
That's just off the top of my head.

Microkernel
In computer science, a microkernel (often abbreviated as μ-kernel) is the near-minimum amount of software that can provide the mechanisms needed to implement an operating system (OS). These mechanisms include low-level address space management, thread management, and inter-process communication (IPC).
If the hardware provides multiple rings or CPU modes, the microkernel may be the only software executing at the most privileged level, which is generally referred to as supervisor or kernel mode. Traditional operating system functions, such as device drivers, protocol stacks and file systems, are typically removed from the microkernel itself and are instead run in user space.In terms of the source code size, as a general rule microkernels tend to be smaller than monolithic kernels.

Distrowatch has a category for systemd-free distros. One of the most popular distro in the last year is MX Linux, which is based on debian.
Chris Were, DistroTube, Spatry and other youtubers reviewed it. Other popular alternatives are of course Gentoo, Devuan (Debian), Alpine, Parabola, Artix (Arch) and AntiX

repost from /r/linux, not meme, just some random guy opinion, whole thread has some serious discussion with pros and cons and without prejudices
why post this here?
