   	Numerous GNU/Linux Distributions are still free of systemd3.   
   	Modern versions of Unix are downloadable but have more GUI perhaps than   
   you are interested in.   
   	To keep up on this sort of thing I suggest visiting Distrowatch.com   
   where they keep track of FOSS   
      
   	My Linux OS is free of systemd(Poettering's Folly) and   
   could be run from a Command Line though I myself do not need to use it   
   much.  However if I need to use the CLI in an unfamiliar manner   
   we have a free forum  which   
   is searchable by free registered members.
