i'm using Manjaro (Archlinux based) for desktop and Debian for server and 5 out of 10 problems i have are related to SystemD doing something it's not supposed to and usually implicitly. systemd-networkd
was the latest adventure, cause who doesn't want network stuff on pid1.

Devuan 2.0 ASCII uses SysVinit and is pretty much a Debian Stretch install without systemd, using Xfce with a purple theme by default. I'm currently a translator of the Devuan wiki. They're very nice people. I used Devuan for a while, but couldn't get used to it. Nothing was wrong with it, it's just that I chose an Ubuntu variant because it's faster to setup.
By the way, I even ran my Tor relay on Devuan without problems. It's just one or two things that are done differently because of the absence of systemd.
