I like Void linux quite a lot. No systemd to worry about.
But tbh there is never a guarantee that a clever backdoor doesn't exist or hasn't been found and not disclosed in any code. You don't have to necessarily code one in overtly so much as write some sloppy code that passes the smell test as being useful and not obviously malicious. Some major CVEs get discovered in very important and widespread software every year and who is to say whether the person who discloses them was the first to find them or whether they were intentionally crafted. 0dayz can be sold to the intelligence agencies via their contractor corporations for big money.
