I enjoyed playing Dark Heresy online with friends. However, my IRL friends who play a lot of tabletop games aren't as familiar with the 40K universe, and I don't want to set something I'd run in that universe anyway because as familiar with as I am, and as much as I sort of love it in a dumb way, I want anything I run to be a little more...coherent.
But I do like Dark Heresy's d100 mechanics. I've also been partial to dicepool-based systems, and really a lot of systems that aren't your standard d20. My friends only pay Pathfinder and 5e, though. What systems can you recommend me to give me an excuse to start something up?

what type of game do you and your players want to play? ask them. find a theme. find something to hold on to. make suggestions based on the things you like, but make sure you listen to your players. that will give you a much better idea of what you're looking for.
if you just want a percentile generic rpg system, check out basic role playing system https://www.chaosium.com/basic-roleplaying/

Like I said they stick to Pathfinder and 5e, so they're probably most comfortable with generic fantasy and the surrounding neighborhood, but I know a lot of them and they're a pretty diverse bunch so I don't think they'd be scared off by anything outside that wheelhouse.
Sorry I don't have much more information to go off of, I'm more feeling out ideas of what I think I can pull off.
Pic unrelated, unless you somehow make it related...

Dark Heresy is fun as fuck, why not run it? It's even more fun when you don't know shit about 40k. When your players meet daemons or xenos it's even better if they have no idea what they're dealing with.
Playing DH with my brother is what got me into 40k.

DH actually runs great with no one knowing about 40k. Even better is Only War where they can be dropped right out the orbital battle into a war with enemies they never knew existed.

Somewhat related, what to do if there's no one around to play the wargame with you?
