Bryan Lunduke had a great video about Devuan.

Devuan is great for freedom of choice. During install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA.
The project's main website is here:
The project has a forum and a presence on the fediverse:

The project accepts donations through Paypal, crypto and bank transfer if you wish to help financially:
Debian left X due to feeling scared on there not to mention they actively have anti white rules and practices. SystemD is part of Fedora/Red Hat as well as gets a lot of contributions by Microsoft Staff and they both have a very woke agenda as well.

Six people boosted it, three people commented on it and four people favorited it at the time of typing this. All higher than zero. The video on Rumble has fifty three upvotes and four hundred and forty three views as of typing this. Again all higher than zero.
@publiclewdness Bookmarked. Thank you. Add this to Open.Mandriva things are looking up.
@publiclewdness Glad to see Devuan was not a flash-in-the-pan as with a lot of anti-systemd projects that were coming out around when it showed up. Used it a few years during Jessie and ASCII and it's only gotten way better since then.
Yeah trying to get away from SystemD can be a real crapshoot at times. I have Devuan on my laptop and usually Artix on my gaming desktop although I'm giving Alpine a serious look. If Devuan had newer mesa and kernels i'd just use it for both, maybe when the next version is released I can.
@publiclewdness How secure is it? Debian has a lot of people involved in it. This looks like a much smaller project.
@publiclewdness how is debian and systemd woke
