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.

    And if the point is to escape systemd, there are other options as well.

    I myself migrated to Devuan as soon as Mint succumbed to systemd. Everything works, and I even play Steam games (XCOM).
