Debian seems overwhelmingly supported in TDE. To help me learn I want to create a Debian VM where I can download and study package sources and build scripts.

One caveat is the Debian distro needs to NOT support systemd because Slackware does not. I need something reasonably close to how Slackware functions.

I don't use systemd. I have used Ubuntu and Devuan. I currently use Debian Stable. I wouldn't use Ubuntu without systemd today. I prefer Debian proper but it's a close call and if you only need a test/study environment you're probably better off not worrying too much and just going with Devuan.
