What are your BSD problems? There are great options for the Desktop (PC-BSD), Server (FreeBSD) and Embedded (OpenBSD).

There are thankfully a few non-systemd linucies around - Gentoo, or others have mentioned Slackware.

OpenBSD for embedded? I used NetBSD in the past for that but is OpenBSD really for embedded? Interesting thought though.

On the other hand, the issues are also in the soft-realtime-ness, the hardware drivers, the embedded community,etc.

Indeed for Desktop or Server, *BSD might do it just fine, though many OSS development env these days are tested by default on Ubuntu/Debian etc instead of BSDs.

My impression is that hardware support is not at Linux level, which is itself somewhat spotty.
