Okay, let's add some numbers: Debian and all the other Debian derived distributions: - 3109 (=1,55%) installations of sysvinit-core - 2031 (=1,01%) installations of runit -68 runit-systemd -6 of runit- sysv (counted above already) - 110 (=0,05) installations of openrc, but it works on top of sysvinit - https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=sysvinit (and so on) Devuan: - 2578 installations of sysvinit-core (and I just added two more by installing popularity-contest on my Devuan based server VMs) - 27 installations of runit - 141 installations of openrc, installations of openrc, but it works on top of sysvinit - http://popcon.devuan.org/tmp-www/by_inst.html So Devuan almost doubles the percentage of sysvinit-core installations. A minority? Yes. But a sizable one. Thanks, -- Martin
