The Ubuntu-derived distros are much better suited to desktop. I run several of them, as well as CentOS 7 and 8. Ubuntu, Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Lubuntu, Debian, PopOS, and Zorin.
They all use systemd. If you're running CentOS 6 to avoid that, you're out of luck.
I can live with systemd. It's the Gnome 3 UI that I can't stand. I gave Mate a try briefly, but ran into some issues that I don't recall just now. I'll give it another try, but I may just give up and switch to Mint. The major issue for my doing that is the package manager, since I have several custom packages that are RPMs.
