Ive been runing Debian 12 (kde) since bookworm was released and am loving it.

I have recently discovered Devuan which seems to be Debian without systemd - what is the benefit of removing this init system?

    I am on an NVMe drive, however most of my boot time actually comes from the POST process so even if I were to switch to an OpenRC (or runit / another init system), it wouldn’t really have any meaningful impact on my system’s boot time unfortunately.

    ❯ systemd-analyze time
    Startup finished in 17.412s (firmware) + 2.684s (loader) + 3.587s (kernel) + 2.134s (initrd) + 9.244s (userspace) = 35.063s 
    graphical.target reached after 9.208s in userspace.
