The primary advantage is that Ubuntu is based on debian's testing release, which has countless *KNOWN UNACCEPTABLE BUGS* at any given time other than about a minute before declaration as stable on release day, and debian (stable) is based on fixing those bugs before release.
Though I have to admit, the ubuntu installer sure is slick.
@starlabssystems I'm running #devuan now, ever since debian switched to systemd for the laughable reason that everyone else was doing it rather than because it was an inherently good choice.

After trying various #Ubuntu #linux flavors on my old laptop with only 4Gb of RAM, I needed to find something lighter that didn't use up more than half my RAM, but I still wanted disk encryption and working hardware keys and trackpad. I tried #Devuan (I pronounce this Dev-one) and it is awesome! Super #lightweight and looks great. I only needed to add a tap-to-click config and install xfce4-screensaver, otherwise happy with the defaults.

Devuan GNU+LinuxWelcome to devuan.org | Devuan GNU+Linux Free Operating SystemFree GNU+Linux base OS. Devuan is a fork of Debian without systemd. Devuan provides a safe upgrade path from Debian, to ensure the right to Init Freedom and avoid entanglement.
Highlight of the class: the end.
I'm sympathetic to the #Devuan / #InitFreedom people, but it wouldn't be my first choice of thing to work on, especially since I frankly dislike systemd less than what it's replaced. However, #Guix is pushing forward #GNU #Shepherd, which actually seems to have merit beyond "not systemd"--have the #Devuan people heard of this? Anyone working on integrating it yet?
after dist-upgrading to mobian trixie some months ago, #pinephone has been completely useless..
so, time for one last try with it..(before i give it away....)
(#Devuan based) #MaemoLeste will be first OS to try....
systemd distros which are much heavier for the "poor" pinephone, next.... (= #postmarketOS , #Mobian)

I have been a linux user for more than 20 years, and a Debian user for a good 15 years now. For the first time, I feel like something is off. systemd feels like a Frankenstein that does not belong. It makes the system feel brittle and vulnerable.
Perhaps some more reading is in order. But I am also starting to look into things like Devuan.
Thoughts? Interesting takes and links?
Life Without systemd: For Real Use Cases
Converting my dev laptop to https://devuan.org/ - Debian fork minus systemd.
Going well so far...

Look at that: If you dislike systemd and like debian packages, but want Phosh instead of hildon (on Maemo Leste), Movuan has you covered:

Basically, that's a #devuan for your #PinePhone

I've been using and productively not noticing the pleasingly new-paradigm-free #devuan for a few years now. [5? Maybe-- we're not supposed to notice our pencils and other settled tools so it's hard to exactly say.]
It remains refreshingly inconspicuous in my days.
