Systemd is not inherit to Linux. There are loads of distros out there that dont use it. I reluctantly use it but would still remain on Linux if I wanted to drop it
You can use other init systems on Gentoo, like OpenRC. You can also use other distros like Void(which uses Runit as PID 1), or Artix, which can use OpenRC, Runit, s6 and dinit. Most of those are much better option than systemd, however, you can have compatibility issues with some packages that relay on systemd.
If you’re losing software and are no longer gaming, much of complicated driver compatibility issues from peripherals like GPUs won’t matter to you.
FreeBSD is the *nix OS which is stable like Debian but doesn’t use Systemd like Gentoo/Antix/Slackware
