: Anti-systemd debian fork: Devuan
: v32itas May 07, 2015, 10:37:41 PM
just made a quick search and havent found Devuan mentioned anywhere so I'm sharing this. Maybe someone will find it interesting.

Have you tried to opt-out of the systemd change in Debian and stay with sysvinit, or whatever other init you prefer? You will quickly notice that is not a matter of choosing packages and in fact Debian offers no choice.
We want freedom to choose.

It would be good if it gains some momentum, although I guess it probably won't influence the popularity of systemd.
Still, one could argue that the switch to a non-debian based distro that supports sysvinit or OpenRC or whatever is
a wiser choice at the moment, especially considering the relatively young age of the linked project. For instance, Slackware
still uses sysvinit, and Gentoo offers OpenRC.
