𝓗Ⲝ𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓫𝓵ⲜⲜ𝓭BSD folks: if you _have_ to use Linux on your workstation, what disto would you pick?
ed(1) conference@h3artbl33d Until recently, it was Debian, but since the addition of systemd, it would be either the Debian-without-systemd "Devuan", or possibly slackware. I want a conservative cadence that doesn't break things, not a bleeding-edge distro.

Damn! Slackware was one of my first Linux distro's, before I even heard of BSD - almost twenty years ago. I didn't keep up, is the project still led by Patrick Volkering? AFAIK he was a pretty good project lead.
Regarding Devuan, is it a fork or is it merely a relabelled version with the non-free parts ripped out?
@h3artbl33d I haven't checked in on Slackware in a while but it was my first Linux and feels the most BSD-ish of the Linux distros. Not sure whether Devuan is a fork or rebranding.

The Alpine installer is pretty much the same as the OpenBSD installer 😉
