@tk I like Debian but if your goal is to ‘escape’ systemd why is Debian on the list?

@tk @benjamineskola

Debian without systemd is Devuan - as far as I know (not tested it myself)

@Photor @tk No, Debian without systemd is Debian. Systemd is the default but as far as I know it’s technically optional.

Devuan is entirely different: a Debian derivative. (With bad/naive political/ethical opinions, IMO.)

@benjamineskola @Photor Yeah, it does seem like some folks are swapping in other init systems on Debian based on what I looked up.
