Even during Debian's systemd adoption wars I'd never seen any argument calling into question Devuan as ''disreputable''. After all, it was a group of experienced Debian folks that made a systemd-less version of Debian that compares almost exactly with Debian's status and capabilities. I hope in your case you have not been forced to use Devuan.


Hit me up when you finally notice that enterprise and seniors embraced systemd years ago while you kept avoiding change.


You implied that Devuan is disreputable.


I don’t think that’s what they are saying.

Debian is reputable because it is widely widely used for ages.

Devuan is not disreputable. It is simply a fringe variant of Debian that has much fewer users and no obvious reason to adopt for most people.

Debian has a good reputation.

Devuan does not have much of a reputation at all, because most people that might use it have no problem with using Debian and systemd.


> it was a group of experienced Debian folks

No, it wasn't. There was only one ex-Debian person in their team.


I'd heard many times over the years that Roger Leigh was given a great deal of support by other Debian people, let alone across the Linux community. Maybe I misremembered.
