Alpine. It's wonderful. I've always liked minimal distros, and Alpine actively facilitates that. It doesn't get in the way, has everything needed to run a modern desktop, and the focus on security and musl compatibility are huge pluses.
It really is a world of difference. I think the only people really championing systemd are those that found writing scripts and futzing around too complicated. They wanted open-source Windows and they got it.

Don't worry, it's not for long. They are eyeing systemd port, too.
No they are not. Systemd is very incompatible with what Alpine is trying to and succeeding at doing.
PostmarketOS which is based on Alpine switched to systemd, but I've seen nothing indicating Alpine is interested in doing so.

I gave up systemd for openRC on Alpine. Much better suited to my own needs, and uptime is vastly improved.
