Ive been runing Debian 12 (kde) since bookworm was released and am loving it.

I have recently discovered Devuan which seems to be Debian without systemd - what is the benefit of removing this init system?

    Devuan community is a cesspool indeed. However, I cannot deny the validity on some of their argument, namely about having alternatives.

      Yeah, I just have a question about that community. Debian maintainers told them they were open to a multi init architecture (as in have Debian support both systemd and init) as long as they maintained it, they just rumbled around and decided to fork Debian instead. This is the kind of people we’re dealing with.

        Indeed wasted potential. Debian could’ve welcomed them with open arms had they participated in the Init divesity discussion.

          That’s the problem, Debian did welcome them with open arms… they decided to left and fork.
