>The Devuan community has finally gotten a beta release out for testing. "Debian GNU+Linux [sic] is a fork of Debian without systemd, on its way to become much more than that. This Beta release marks an important milestone towards the sustainability and the continuation of Devuan as an universal base distribution."

Finally have a reason to open the torrent program again.
The Register tried to make an article about it but the author is apparently ignorant of technology.

>Versions for the Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi and AMD64 are on offer, making it something of a niche offering.
Apparently two extremely popular platforms make it a niche offering.

systemd won. Unless someone somewhere create something better, the major distributions won't drop systemd.

This may be, but the CHOICE of not having systemd is just fine. Give people the choice of not using it and let them shut the hell up about WAAAAA I DONT LIKE SYSTEMD. Good for you, you don't like systemd, so go use this distro that doesn't have it. Bye.
forking is great because it creates a virual pond where losers can just jerk off and leave everyone else alone
systemd hate became the biggest meme of them all there have been much "worse" changes to linux before that nobody cared about. Go jack off in your private little pond, hilariously enough when you group these losers together in 4 months it will be something else and it will be forked again

You have the choice of using sysvinit instead of systemd on Debian. It supports both.

All the faggots above me that seems to not understand the deserved hate systemd get needs to go and kill yourselves. That's all.

Here, you got your (You) now go and kill yourself

it's hopeless
Systemd already fragmented the community beyond repair
Allowing this huge corporate high velocity code into GNU/Linux is the worst thing that could have happened to the community
