Devuan just released their LTS stable Jessie system:

Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd. The latest 1.0.0 Jessie release (LTS) marks an important milestone towards the sustainability and the continuation of Devuan as a universal base distribution. Since the Exodus declaration in 2014, infrastructure has been put in place to support Devuan's mission to offer users control over their system. Devuan Jessie provides continuity as a safe upgrade path from Debian 7 (Wheezy) and a flawless switch from Debian 8 (Jessie) that ensures the right to Init Freedom and avoids entanglement.

And if getting it has to be a secret, check out http://devuanzuwu3xoqwp.onion

    Which conference was that recorded at? He does seem a little miffed - it's nice to see something vaguely honest from him after all this time.

        My laugh out loud moment came milliseconds after the ALSA line!

          Were you playing your laugh through Pulse rather than Alsa perhaps?

        It has gotten better now that lennart has dropped it and went onto something else, leaving real coders to clean it up. I was a pure alsa supporter till steam came to linux.
        The niche pulseaudio scratches was sorely needed the only problem was it was first made by a wannabe coder.

      Lennart is such a Drama Queen.
