Devuan GNU/Linux

Debian fork without systemd bugs: stable, secure, simple and fast. Regular updates since 2016 thanks to your support

[Devuan GNU/Linux @DevuanOrg]

Wanted to be the boss of all init systems, ended up as an office suite: systemd-resolved, systemd-oomd, systemd-logind, systemd-sysusers, systemd-homed and more mess in logs, tmp files, mounted volumes and soon boot loader! Egomaniac, or simply deaf?

systemd timers: because nothing says “modern init” like a job that can be enabled, active, logged, boot-aware… and still not have done the work.

[vadzim @vadyakravets]

Systemd timers can fail quietly while your server looks healthy.

If backups, syncs, or cleanup jobs matter, monitor completion — not just uptime.

thanks @AdamPeterBurns for the good work on https://t.co/aoEE711gXB and LAUDS!

Devuan on the factory floor: a Raspberry Pi gateway in Barcelona, linked with 12 others across Europe for the LAUDS EU project.

Quietly doing the work in production: stable, lean, reliable, and free from unnecessary complexity.

It just runs.

Since 2014, we chose the hard path: NO systemd.
Good reasons for this keep coming. Now it harvests personal data like birthdates, unrelated to computing and ripe for abuse.
This is not a feature. It is a boundary.
We do not ship surveillance.

@MalditoMP @DevuanOrg @gentoo The XLibre ArchWiki page was deleted. Please see https://t.co/Vrhr7uGpB7

[Devuan GNU/Linux @DevuanOrg]

Rolling GNU/Linux distro done right: @Gentoo never imposed systemd and even built ways around it.
Arch chose the opposite path: tighter coupling, less choice, and recent censorship of @XLibreDev that raises eyebrows.

@dmt9t9 many crunchbang users among our deve! big up!

Groundbreaking OSINT investigation shows how three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major GNU/Linux distribution running systemd

We'd like to dedicate today's #LiberatedScreens to @DevuanOrg & Co. After systemd recently merged infrastructure code for age verification and locked discussions afterward, some of you may want to consider init freedom. Please see https://t.co/fSSkRS2jmk for your options. #XLibre

systemd lost the plot a long time ago. they stopped following the Unix philosophy and now they're busy adding nonsense like age verification. Just like Firefox, systemd doesn't understand its core user base. There are plenty of distros without systemd

Is WRONG to say that @DevuanOrg is just a systemd free distro. After the Debian systemd debate, a big chuck out of the best Debian veterans left to start Devuan

Devuan is the original Debian in terms of philosophy and the way of doing things.

This proves, again they were right!

[Devuan GNU/Linux @DevuanOrg]

@V6994Vol @jaromil this may be a smart workaround to have login persistance on browsers which unfortunately rely on it. It may be a configuration switch. Thanks for the idea!

@jaromil @DevuanOrg Here is my custom bootable iso and laptop running devuan on xlibre+cinnamon

[Jaromil @jaromil]

In 2019 we removed machine-id from @DevuanOrg and we will remove age verification now.
"AgelessLinux" is based on Debian, a foundation made to spy on users in a way or another, because it tracks machine-id.
