It's debian

Devuan is debian just without systemd, it just mirrors the the debian archive and repacks packages that have hard deps on systemd

Pro
Init based

Isn't based on systemd which can spread malware into your system.

Cons

Con
Impossibe to install on non-free hardware

Unlike Debian, Devuan offers no unfree install media so if your system needs unfree drivers(eg a laptop or a tablet) its nearly impossible to install devuan on it.
