If you want the Unix philosophy, why not use an actual Unix? The BSDs not only all have traditional init systems, but are also more in line with how old-school Unix worked in general (e.g. base system segregation).

I have. OpenBSD is great!

The biggest problem I had was that it was difficult to keep upgraded. In those days, it was basically a re-install every six months, plus a merge of any local changes. I understand things are much better now, and I may give it another try.

FreeBSD is generally more straightforward for desktop use, IMO.

I like OpenBSD - it's so clean. I use i3 and don't care about audio/video, so my needs are minimal. I use MacOS/iOS to view the internet, but not for development.
