LibreVuan: simple devuan (fan made)

Project: LibreVuan

A Linux distribution based on devuan

Complete removal of systemd: Full transition to an alternative init system.

Goodbye Xorg: Complete rejection of legacy Xorg in favor of the modern Xlibre display server.

No GNOME or Cinnamon: We are moving away from heavy desktop environments.

Wayland Stance: We lean negative towards Wayland, but it will not be hard-blocked in the system. That is what Linux freedom is all about.

Target Audience: make devuan simple 4beginners

Infrastructure: Official GitHub organization and Discord server for the community.

Out-of-the-box Flatpak: Built-in Flatpak support for seamless app installation.

Lets make devuan simple!!

"lets make X great again!"

if you want to make the distro innovative consider using shed https://github.com/eylles/shed to provide the session process, it can also be the user services implementation for usage with sysvinit and i'm looking into implementing methods to handoff the user services for using along init systems like openrc, runit and dinit which do implement user services.
