Dear Friends and Software Freedom Lovers,
Devuan Developers are delighted to announce the release of Devuan Beowulf

community.

* Based on Debian Buster (10.4) with Linux kernel 4.19.
* Support for ppc64el in addition to the existing i386, amd64, armel,
armhf and arm64 architectures.
* runit optional alternative /sbin/init.
* openrc optional alternative to sysv-rc service and runlevel
control.
* Standalone daemons (eudev, elogind) to replace aspects of
monolithic systemd.
* New boot, display manager and desktop themimg.

Devuan Beowulf 3.0.0 released
Nobody needs this (albeit some people certainly believe they do. They're mistaken).

Linux has never been entirely about what people need. In many cases, it's been about what people want to do or think it would be fun to do. I agree that trying to maintain a version of Debian that avoids systemd is a waste of time, but I'm sure other people feel the same way about my hobbies. Maintaining a forked distro is ultimately pretty harmless, and it's a far, far better way of spending one's time than starting endless arguments with the people over your particular hobby horse. If the Devuan people want to waste their time on something pointless, it's no skin off my nose; it's their time to waste as they see fit.

I'm no fan of the goals of Devuan either, but what is the point of your comment? Please don't be so unnecessarily confrontational.
(I'm done this sub-thread, by the way.)
