From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even if it is, the biggest problem is that there isn't today a big distro that is not using it. Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Arch, Debian, are all using systemd. One can say, you can try Void or Artix, Void repos are small, Artix is small (and kind of non-reliable) project. Or go to Gentoo and compile your applications, no ty.
Gentoo does support binary repos, I haven't researched them in depth, but creating a binary-only child distribution should be very possible.
Except as you said - I don't think is popular enough, I don't know how comprehensive the current set of binary packages is.
But it should mostly be just a matter of actually precompiling everything with a reasonable config
There already are binary gentoo based distress.
Well if Void Linux is unpopular enough for it to be a problem, are the Gentoo-based ones better in that regard? Like, does it have comparable repositories to gentoo?
