Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 “ASCII” Operating System Launches for Init Freedom Lovers

Continuing project’s tradition to offer users alternatives to systemd and its components, Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 is dubbed “ASCII” and it’s based on the Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system series. It comes with a large variety of desktop environments, among which we can mention KDE, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, and LXQt. However, Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 ships with Xfce as default desktop environment. Many other desktop environments are available after installation, and Devuan GNU/Linux’s expert install mode lets users choose between the SysVinit and OpenRC init systems instead of systemd.
