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?
Everyone is explaining what systemd is, but if you’re just someone who wants to use their computer it doesn’t matter if you know what it is or not.
I’ve been using Linux for years and still don’t really know what it is. I don’t even know if my current distribution uses it or not.
