From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure about the security, but recently I've tried runit on a very old laptop with HDD and it took waaay much less to fully boot up than a clean Arch32 with systemd
You could always dual boot or use a vm.
Watch this 45 minute video first so you understand why systemd was developed and implemented https://youtu.be/o_AIw9bGogo?feature=shared
This is actually a great talk on systemd by a BSD dev; highly recommended.
