Void Linux, although I use NixOS nowadays.
Alpine.
Have used crux but using low end / old hardware results in almost permanent building software.

PalmOS. So simplistic yet powerful. I miss those old PDAs :(
There was a lack of sinisterness to the PalmOS ecosystem that we've lost.

Artix is an under-appreciated gem.
Debian, installed without systemd as per the wiki. So far I've not hit any issues, whilst I've recently ended up diving through both kernel and systemd code to find the root cause of an issue I was hitting on one server. I could have just bodged past it, but I wanted to actually understand what the issue was, and what else it was going to affect.
Maybe a stupid question, but is the thing you did fundamentally different from Devuan?
Honestly, I'm not sure, I was looking at Devuan, but then noticed that Debian supported sysvinit natively so I went that route instead. I figure that sticking to the source distro was going to give me fewer headaches, and so far it's been plain sailing.
I don't care about the init system, however i do love void mainly because of the package manager.
I like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine, and Devuan.

Normie here, what's wrong with systemd?
Nothing, it's just bloated but in practice if your system meets normal distros system requirements systemd isn't going to make that much of a difference in practical use.

I suppose that would be Android, since that's the only non systemd OS I use.
Guix
Nintendo 3DS
Artix with openrc
Windows 7
FreeBSD! It's so simple, and so reliable
