If you’re looking to try something a little different, I recommend Guix.
It’s based around a nyx-style package manager written in scheme, which is also called guix. There’s an EDSL for writing package definitions. One interesting result about this is that the package manager has a REPL and a dedicated emacs mode
Instead of systemd, the PID1 process is called GNU Shepherd, and is also written in scheme.
Guix also has a strong emphasis on bootstrapping. You can build almost the entire system from source, relying on only a few binaries to start with.
