"Arch linux spawned a distro called manjaro which leads the way on not joining the systemd bandwagon."
...well, kinda: manjaro supports openrc, but the official, main installs are systemd. you can start with an official install and convert it, or you can use an openrc iso, but those are not officially supported.

Err, Distrowatch claim that Manjaro use systemd...
Then there is slackware, gentoo, pclinuxos that either did not bit the systemd bullet or offer alternative option. Not sure about ubuntu.
