I'm happy with systemd and what I don't really know about is devuan, I've heard about a fork / fight / split when Debian went to systemd (I think it was around Jessie - Stretch). Other than the two being runlevel management system, I don't know the difference. I'd rather make technological choices based on technological questions but I'll take a look at the user groups and everything that goes around Devuan. I'll have to admit that it's a "no fun" situation when people act like this. I've had to deal twice with this guy, one time he got into a thread to say that "Gnome ain't part of the problem, Gnome is the problem and that KDE is the same type of problem" but didn't have anything to support his affirmation. I can argue, we can exchange opinion but you need to have something to say, not just acting like we all did in high school and doing telling other names. I've used Debian for a long time and always saw it as one of the most active community, with the most software and one of the biggest developer base. Maybe it has change as time pass by... Possibly that all the good work is getting hidden behind people who are so good that they need to convince themselves by shouting how great they are. You footnote talks about a book on troubleshooting. I've learned what we call differential diagnostics when I was still in school (PhD / Master). It's the technique used by doctors, mental health professional too that allow us to get an idea of where the problem may be, each step getting closer to the optimal cause, by using the most prominent cause and pushing other possibility aside, one by one. Starting with the basis of "it was going good then something change, now we have this problem" what can it be, what can't it be, we often look at the most common cause and rule it out at start... If this interest you, maybe I still have some documents on the subject.
