antiX doesn't use SystemD, so that works for me. A nice balance between lightweight and being lazy and not having to set it up from scratch, but it doesn't feel quite as janky as Puppy Linux.

Why wouldn't you like systemD? It's easier to learn than most distributions

I guess its commands are a bit long

Imo when it comes to lightweight distros theres a reason why you set it up manually, when 100mb is the difference between a usable system it makes sense for the user to customize it to their needs.

I get that. It depends what you're after. I just wanted something that'd run on old hardware without too much effort.

Debian is good for that, unless the system is a laptop with no RJ45 port and a wireless card which needs a non-free driver
