First Look at Devuan 1.0: a Free OS Designed for Debian Fans Who Hate systemd

Started in November 2014, Devuan project’s goal was always to develop a fork of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution without the systemd init daemon. Why? Because the Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie” operating system adopted systemd as default init replacement, a move that upset many users and developers. It took two and a half years for Devuan GNU/Linux to reach the 1.0 milestone and offer its community a stable, secure and reliable computer operating system that’s systemd-free. While based on the latest stable Debian release, Devuan uses its own software repository that appears to mirror the upstream development.
