AwesomeTheRaccoon717Just curious. For those who already use Artix, Devuan, and Void, how do you make bootable drives for these? Do you use Rufus or the dd terminal method? Is gnome disk utility reliable in your experience? I am grateful for your time. Have a pleasant day.

TronNerd82Personally I don't use systemd because I'm more familiar with Slackware's traditional init, and not for any bullshit political reasons. That said, if I wanna use systemd-free Debian forks, should I go with:
Devuan, which is non-political but has a userbase of anti-woke losers,
or antiX, which is proudly anti-fascist but isn't quite as suitabe for a general-purpose desktop?
