Great comment, cleared up a lot of thing, thanks.

 

I am a Linux user, but I don't really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?

As some other commenters said, I've also been trying VanillaOS, which I do recommend you try out, but if you really like tinkering and messing with your system I recommend Debian, although if you like a rolling-like experience maybe try Debian Testing. And for a Debian alternative I would try OpenSUSE.

My understanding is that is has to have a certain level of the GNU core utilities in combination with the Kernel but yeah not really, it's hard to define, maybe the use of a package manager? Definitely nothing to do with GUI, probably a philosophy in mind, not sure at all to be honest.

I sencond this, just cuz I know how to change the HDMI doesn't mean I know why your iBook 3 isn't working, I just figure it out.

 

Wanted to know if there's such a thing as Debian based distro but make it Rolling release, is that something already in existence or will I have to just tinker a lot within Debian?
