Debian uses systemd as its default init system

Devuan was created specifically to avoid systemd, offering alternatives like SysV init, OpenRC, and runit

I do not know what an init system is. I don’t know what systemd is. I do not know what Devuan is. I do not know what SysV init is. I do not know what OpenRC is. I do not know what runit is.

I vaguely understand what debian is. Although I would be the wrong person it explain it. I know it’s the type of linux that ubuntu is. And I know it seems like every disto I look at says it’s based on ubuntu, and therefore is debian since ubuntu is based on debian.

What I don’t understand is if everyone hates ubuntu, but ubuntu is based on debian, but nobody hates debian, why is everything based on ubuntu and not debian?

How do I know if I want the debian version of a distro, or the devuan version? What are they even talking about?

This seems to be a good way to see the things systemd does. Though it is from 2014, so there might have been many changes.

Heh, you can actually set a picture as the “text” of a clickable link. Neat.
