[Devuan GNU+Linux](https://www.devuan.org/) is still around. It's boring, just like the [Debian](https://www.debian.org/) it's based on, because it's without the added drama of systemd and whatever systemd has supplanted. That will become a bigger problem over time however, for whenever Debian gets rid of [sudo](https://linuxiac.com/systemd-v256-introduces-run0/), for example.

You have your choice of the unstable Sid equivalent, named Ceres, or any of the major version number releases which have silly names just like Debian has! Pick which year's equivalent software you want to run, and find the version released that year.

I understand [MX Linux](https://mxlinux.org/) is still around and offers a non-systemd option.
