you wrap your head around the basics, it's a LOT easier to use than
maintaining those damn /etc/rc.N/ folders. At least that's been my
experience.
My experience too - systemd

A couple of points following on to 01bigtenor's reply:
According to Wikipedia: "Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux
distribution that uses sysvinit, runit or OpenRC instead of systemd.

pay $$ for a subscription in order to access the source code. Then if
