I've been switching to FreeBSD for most of my computers (laptop and
servers) because of the systemd assumption debacle and updates bring
frivolous changes for the sake of change that break things.

If these sorts of things upset you that much (which is reasonable);
perhaps consider stop using software that has too much redhat
influence. Gnome stuff being funded by redhat, not just systemd. If you
follow the money on a lot of the stuff that has been plaguing the Linux
ecosystem these last couple of years you'll find in a lot of cases it
pointing back to redhat.

Part of the problem (and feature) of the Linux ecosystem is that every
system component is made by a completely different person/team/company
with different, often conflicting design goals.

You can get away from the FreeDesktop stuff by stop using desktop
environments and learn how to configure a compact window manager that
doesn't rely on FreeDesktop stuff. Things like suckless's DWM is fairly
capable and written in less then 2000 lines of C. You can modify it
yourself to add keybindings for things like media buttons and whatnot
without relying on freedesktop.

Bottom line is, you can get X11/*nix from places other then Linux
nowadays.
