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.
