perhaps the solution for you is a more traditional DIY setup, rather than pick 
what someone else has done and work with that, just like you probably did 10 
years ago ... it is more work to DIY, so many hope to skip that work but spend 
ages hopping from distro to distro instead.

A more unix-like setup using init is still very feasible based on debian, and it 
looks like debvuan may well maintain GNU/linux into the future, as the debian 
packages move more and more to dependencies on a bloated desktop with systemd etc.

Linux, as the kernel, is running more and more machines .... but the main 
desktop distributions are trying to be low-rent microsoft clones with opaque 
configuration beyond the basic choices offered via GUIs, and fairly regular 
system crashes just to help the ex windows users feel at home.

Unfortunately they seem to have become dominant in debian, and that means almost 
everywhere downstream of them (or redhat, suse etc which have already gone that 
way) ... but it is the GNU part that you are speaking of here, so stick with 
that ... and accept it is never going to be fully prepackaged, off-the-shelf 
plug and play.
