Phoronix reports

The inaugural release of ubuntuBSD is now available, which the developers have codenamed "Escape From SystemD". [It] pairs the Ubuntu userspace with the FreeBSD kernel.

... This first ubuntuBSD beta release is based off Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and the FreeBSD 10.1 kernel.

This Ubuntu+FreeBSD operating system ships with the Xfce desktop, is designed for both servers and desktops, and offers complete ZFS file-system support.

N.B. The ubuntuBSD Web Site link is currently a circular trip back to SourceForge.

    systemd-udevd or some eudev,vdev replacement is needed for X applications. Reverting to a sane init already helps, though.
    I once even removed parallel init, insserv iirc, I need to see if the card gets up, if not i gotta replug it in and looking at the dhcp handshake lets me do it in the FASTEST way.
    Different people, different needs.

    You don't have to replace anything if you simply choose one of the many Linux distros that don't use systemd to begin with.

    I recommend Slackware because that's what's given me the best results but there are plenty of choices; http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Free.2FOpen_Source_Operating_systems_without_systemd_in_the_default_installation
