    Debian on my production servers, Arch Linux as my daily driver, Linux Mint on the devices I manage for normies.

    Debian is my daily driver and for regular people I help. Comes with a service card saying "it will work and you will like it".

    I help for free. If someone does not like it, they can pay to have what they want done. But they don't get to ask for help again.

    Debian is solid as fuck, perfect for work computers, but I like tinkering with bleeding edge software on the AUR in my free time.

    When a huge batch of laptops at my workplace that couldn't support Windows 11 stopped receiving updates, I switched them to Mint for a drop-in-replacement that wouldn't scare them too much. Now that they're used to it Debian is probably the next step.

    Devuan seems more pure Debian.

    Debian took a turn from a bad vote, and kept the name, while being a different thing.

    Systemd makes perfect sense for Debian, its a stable OS and systemd is objectively stable (its also more usable and easier, additionally its what every other distro uses and has the most support)

    Debian is an OS for everyone that anyone can install

    also

    systemd is objectively stable

    more stable than sysvinit (or runit or openrc or other init systems)?

    more usable

    not in my experience.

    easier

    not in my experience.
