this article is on slashdot https://ungleich.ch/en-us/cms/blog/2019/05/20/linux-distros-without-systemd/; it mentions void & artix, but not Obarun. Perhaps someone authoritative should contact the authors. I find Obarun more compatible(perhaps sympatico) than those distros that are mentioned.
without systemd

obarun.org: "Obarun is neither a distribution of its own, nor is it pure Archlinux, it's a Build Concept. Obarun is based on Archlinux, but incorporates several changes."
I don't know if Devuan or Antix or MX have more packages than Obarun, I never counted, but it really is the same approach. Replacing the init system and service manager, throwing away systemd, then rebuild any pkgs that have unnecessary dependencies on the dreaded system and can work otherwise. To give them some credit Arch is a bit more honest and easier to clean up than debian.
It is a good thing that more and more sites are dedicated to the cause, of struggling to keep linux "clean" of the Hydra. If you see some general linux sites with high corporate advertising and continuous mention of the "positive" and "generous" impact of large corporations to linux, you will never see any mention of any existing "alternatives" to systemd. They paint the picture that linux and systemd is the one and only thing.
A few big fish, many little fish. Whose side are you on boys, whose side are you on?

Lennart Poettering is truly a visionair and genius, this is why i love him and his software... Redhat company is the best because they fund his projects... I hope that one day obarun gonna realise that systemd is the best init system
