From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to the project’s website it's not actually a new OS, the underlying OS is just Linux.
It's built on top of Devuan which is a fork of Debian which uses Linux.
Apparently Devuan is "Debian without systemd". 🤡🤡🤡
I would stay away! systemd provides so many well-designed APIs that are helpful for server management.
Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.
Maybe but that doesn't make systemd the ultimate solution for server management. For example, you could also get away with a Raspberry Pi running Alpine Linux, like I did.
I'm kinda mixed on this but I see your point. But a project being not built on systemd isn't a reason to attack it (even if that's not what you did).
