When a technical project starts making their decisions over
political reasons...
rather than technical, it is doomed. Good time to switch to a
similar distro....
with mentally sane leadership, like Devuan. Also what's good about
Devuan :
Devuan does not use SystemDick as its' init system! SystemD contains
1 millionlines of bloated code and lots of vulnerabilities have been found
there and
countless haven't, also the SystemD creators are arrogant and refuse
to fix many
discovered security vulnerabilities, to a point where they've been
awarded a
" Pwnie award " for refusing to fix a critical vuln.
That is why I prefer the distros which are using something else as
init system:
either good old SysV, or something more modern like OpenRC (at Artix
Linux) or
runit (at Void Linux) , just not systemd! There are only a few such
distros left
because of Redhat pressure, and luckily Devuan is one of them.
If you found Debian as useful before it went nuts then maybe you'd
like Devuan,
or even some other distros that I mentioned: Artix Linux =Arch with
a human face
(has GUI + everything configured by default, nice GUI package
manager and
convenient to use even for the beginners), and Void Linux -amazingly
fast distro
really suitable for old PCs, but lacks some packages so you'd need
to compile
the things from source once in a while, in comparison Artix has
almost the same
set of packages as Arch. Both Artix and Void are very stable despite
their
packages are really new and they are among the first to get new
Linux kernels
with fresh drivers.
Or maybe MX Linux, one of the top popularity distros nowadays which
is
also "no systemd" and somehow only recently I learned about it

How ridiculous that some pathetic questionable would spend their
precious time on Earth censoring package names which contain the
character string "boob".
Sad.
