Debian, installed without systemd as per the wiki. So far I’ve not hit any issues, whilst I’ve recently ended up diving through both kernel and systemd code to find the root cause of an issue I was hitting on one server. I could have just bodged past it, but I wanted to actually understand what the issue was, and what else it was going to affect.
Honestly, I’m not sure, I was looking at Devuan, but then noticed that Debian supported sysvinit natively so I went that route instead. I figure that sticking to the source distro was going to give me fewer headaches, and so far it’s been plain sailing.

Maybe a stupid question, but is the thing you did fundamentally different from Devuan?
