This is the first time I've installed devuan.
Release 2 is based on debian
stretch, so not cutting edge. However it has rt kernel 4.9 and everything else
seems pretty up-to-date. The only slight disappointment is it's slower on
startup, but I may let be able to tweak that.
I installed devuan on a Lenovo X240 a few days ago (and I'm using it to
write this). So far it's working very well. Happy to get rid of systemd,
which may have been a good idea at the start but by now has become a
uncontrolable mess (and therefore a security risk). Startup doesn't seem
to be slower. I'll install another laptop next week, and if all goes
well devuan makes a very good chance of replacing archlinux as my
preferred distro.
See you at the LAC !
