Just to clear up a few things:
- The TPM chip on some Mac has never been used. It's my guess that

Judging from the Debian documenation on this, which I quoted last time

Arch is a virulently pro-systemd, anti-choice distro, unlike its
descendant, Manjaro. If Arch is really home-growing a systemd-free
version of Arch, this would be, in the words of Joe Biden, a BIG F'ing

I just installed a Devuan system from scratch in "expert mode" from
devuan-jessie-netboot-amd64-alpha2.iso.
It went fine so far and finally I own this beautiful green slim login
screen I read about on the list. I had planned to go with a customized
XDM as on my laptop, but well, we'll see :)
