Well, in my personal opinion devuan should not focus on new users, as
nor debian does.
But it should not beat them over the head and say go away either!!!
For new users there are plenty of distros, most notable ubuntu, and we
should not compete with it.
So your implying new users are better off with systemd then??
We should focus on moderately expert to professional sysadmins and
geeks, so, after some years of ubuntu if a user want to go to a more
UNIX compliant distro, should switch to devuan.
I think you are being to narrow here. Perhaps we could add the "I am a
geek and don't need my hand held" mode to the installer :p
Second focus is to be a "base framework" for derivates, and then
derivates can of course choose to focus on users, and to do that switch
to a more easy to learn editor maybe, or maybe switch to a GUI editor
for newbies.
That's a reasonable point, although we need Devuan to get to a stable
point first, and for that we do need users - even newbs to help us
refine the installer to make it easier across the board.
