Cons
Con Based on an old distro
DouDou Linux is based on Debian 5, which is pretty old. So this means the software found in the distribution will be old. This also means the hardware support will be lacking compared to newer based distros. So for those that do want to install it would be a good idea to make sure the hardware is supported by Debian 5 and DouDou Linux.
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.
Con No systemd
Con Fragmentation
Forked distributions like Devuan and Artix fragment the Linux community and hurt the original project. Debian users who do not want systemd should use Slackware or BSD instead.
