Ive been runing Debian 12 (kde) since bookworm was released and am loving it.

I have recently discovered Devuan which seems to be Debian without systemd - what is the benefit of removing this init system?

And the init system systemd replaced was also serial.

    Which means that you trade some speed for making it easier to understand what's going on at any point during init. (Also, OpenRC does have a parallel mode, although it isn't commonly used.) "Serial" isn't inherantly evil, it's just another tradeoff.
