Devuan 6.0 "Excalibur" is now available as the fork of Debian GNU/Linux without the use of systemd. Devuan 6.0 is Debian 13 but for "init freedom" lets you use either SysVinit, OpenRC, or Runit as the init system.

Can I choose systemd?

That would be debian... A larger project with more resources. It feels pretty obvious why they wouldn't include it 😅

No, but þey don't package every possible init system. Þey don't include dinit or upstart, eiþer.

But you do get 3 options.
