Debian without Systemd

SpecsUpdate

Pros

PatientHunBatz

Pro
Init based

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

Pro
It's debian

Devuan is just Debian without systemd. It just mirrors the Debian archive and repacks packages that have hard deps on systemd.

Pro
Most decent look amongst other XFCE distros

Default XFCE theme is unique of all the XFCE distos including MXLinux, Xubuntu etc.

Cons

Con
Impossibe to install on non-free hardware

Unlike Debian, Devuan offers no non-free install media so if your system needs non-free drivers (e.g., a laptop or a tablet) its nearly impossible to install Devuan on it.

Devuan GNU+Linux
Recommended a year ago
Well, it's Debian. I love Debian, but use Systemd. Devuan fixes this, but I can not install my RTX 2080 Ti or GTX 1080 ... (I'm kidding, I can not install my GT 1030. F * cking poverty).
