Parrot Security OS Ethical Hacking Distro Considers Ditching Debian for Devuan

The surprising announcement was posted a couple of days ago on Twitter, and it reads, “Our release team is evaluating a possible migration of our project from Debian to Devuan.” A few users reacted negatively to the idea of moving the entire operating system from Debian to Devuan, a fork of the former, but without using systemd. When asked by a user why the big move, one of the developers replied by saying, “Mostly because of how it works, what goals the project has, who developed it and how it was implemented in Debian.” But it also looks like the systemd init system is one of the main reasons for migrating the distro’s base from Debian to Devuan.
