Artix Linux, a systemd-free linux distribution.
Gentoo could provide an easy way to learn about init systems other than systemd. But in practice, coming from Arch, Artix is probably a better choice for most of the alternatives except for OpenRC (Gentoo or Alpine is better for that) and the traditional LSB init.d setup (where Devuan is really the only practical option anymore). I’m specifically mentioning Artix here because it is Arch, just with proper support for things other than systemd as the init system (if you were a Debian user primarily, Devuan would be my primary recommendation instead).
