About Devuan
Devuan is free software operating system for your computers developed as a modified version of Debian GNU/Linux without systemd developed in collaboration by Dyne.org Foundation Netherlands and Veteran Unix Admins Australia. Devuan Project was started in 2014 and its first OS release was version Jessie 1.0 in 2017. What makes Devuan unique is its commitment to make all free software as a whole work without systemd (they call it Init Freedom), it has "GNU+Linux" in its official name, its release naming system follows stars naming, the encouragement to create new distros through Devuan Software Development Kit and the special package management tool called Amprolla.
