Pros
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Difficult to install on non-free hardware
Unlike Debian, Devuan offers no unfree netinstall media, so if your system needs unfree drivers (e.g a laptop or a tablet), you'll have to download the Debian firmware on a separate USB.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro No systemd
Isn't using systemd as init which is bloated and can spread malware into your system.
