Personal preference to run Ubuntu 17.10 without systemd as init replacement. I would like to know, if Upstart, OpenRC etc works anymore in Ubuntu 17.10 as direct replacement. I know, it will be hard to trace every services systemd has grappled and making them work with SysVinit is more difficult now. Just asking, if anyone successfully accomplished this.

Artix begins to be usable. it was previously called Manjaro/Openrc and it offers both OpenRC & Runit. Beware, you need to be expert. Arch based

Antix & Devuan in Debian derivatives. There also exists LMDE, but it is poorly supported by Mint.

Last viable alternative: Calculate Linux, but it is Gentoo based, as it will be a whole new world for you.
