FreeBSD sounds like a possibility (and no systemd). Thinking of installing to see about running TDE in it. But its boot image requires a MBR primary or GUID partition.

I'm already evaluating FreeBSD for my desktop. As far as I've come
it's working at least as good as wheezy on older laptops (T60 / T61 / X60 - I don't have newer). At the moment I have XFCE and FVWM running, but it's definitly missing a good file manager like konqueror.
I'm verry happy that François and Slávek put effort in getting TDE
working on OpenBSD, so chances are I'll escape systemd :-)

Another way to go is Gentoo, though it takes some work and close attention to the installation manual. I used it for a while ten years ago and am looking at it again. I wonder what experience others have had with it.
I've been using Gentoo for . . . nine years now? Something like that. It's a functional distribution if you're comfortable with the command line and willing to ignore the periodic flare-ups of developer drama backstage.
Openrc is a solid enough init system (not as fast as I understand systemd can be set up to be, but as far as I'm concerned that's a feature), and Gentoo isn't likely to give it up any time soon. I've also opted for eudev rather than standard udev on two boxes, and haven't had any problems with that either.
Unfortunately, the most complete set of Trinity packages for Gentoo ( https://github.com/Fat-Zer/trinity ) is somewhat out of date. Tweaking the ebuild version numbers may be enough to let most packages build, though.
In general, the continued existence of the (increasingly broken) kde-sunset overlay complicates Trinity's status with respect to Gentoo.

Is there anything we can do to fix the kde-sunset problem, for example by providing a non-broken overlay for TDE? I don't know enough about Gentoo to comment intelligently here, but if kde-sunset still exists then there must be some demand for TDE bottled up over there?
