Hi everyone. It's been a little while since I last posted. Some of you might remember that I occasionally write reviews for DistroWatch. Not too often, because it's my policy to only write about a distro that I actually use (or would use) in everyday life. Ever since systemd starting contaminating Linux, the number of distros I consider usable has been drastically reduced.
Until a few months ago I was using Ubuntu 14.04, but finally dropped it. The replacement was Manjaro OpenRC, which is pretty good but has a little systemd contamination from dbus or udev (not sure of the details). I wrote a DistroWatch of Manjaro-OpenRC which you can view here: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20150601#manjaro As you might have guessed from the title of this thread, the next review I hope to write will be about AntiX. I just installed it yesterday and I'm using it right now. All things considered, it's very nice and functionally equivalent to Manjaro-OpenRC. The author of AntiX, Anticapitalista, says that there are no systemd libraries or systemd-shim in AntiX. The following command produces zero output: dpkg --get-selections | grep systemd So my big question here: in what ways will Devuan differ from AntiX? I'm guessing that vdev will be part of the answer, but surely there is more. I think that the DistroWatch readership will be interested, and any thoughts that you all have along these longs will be greatly appreciated. I will try to incorporate the best informed comments into the review, in the hopes of piquing interested in both Devuan and AntiX. Thank you all in advance, - Robert
