Devuan 6.0 "Excalibur" is now available as the fork of Debian GNU/Linux without the use of systemd. Devuan 6.0 is Debian 13 but for "init freedom" lets you use either SysVinit, OpenRC, or Runit as the init system.

An init system should be easy to understand and maintain. SystemD is anything but.

With SysVinit I could write my own startup scripts and have total control over them.
