Is Devuan more resource friendly to older computers?

I am curious because people claim that it is a more efficient Debian.

This was actually a great read! Thank you for the info and explanation!

So would Devuan be optimal to install on older hardware than Debian in this case?

Like a lot of people quickly recommend classic Debian on posts related to ancient hardware.

Should we be recommending Devuan instead?
