Debian has been operating as a political institution since more or less the systemd migration. But then I think the systemd migration itself was very badly handled. I remember meeting some people from the Debian ecosystem back in the day and celebrating they had kicked those "fuckers" when some developers and packagers left over it. You'd think they were happy they were losing manpower.

Add to this that Linux distributions in general are starting to suck because they are starting to windowsize. Debian is not an exception.

I am not a Devuan fan, exactly, but I can use it as a drop-in replacement for most tasks I would have used Debian in the past and its default configuration comes with a bit less overhead. And with no systemd.
