Qubes OS is looking less crazy lately too.

If they have a systemD-less version I'd seriously consider using it.

On Qubes, everything runs in VMs, and you can choose many OSes for your VMs, including Devuan: https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/devuan-or-other-non-systemd-tem...

The AdminVM is based on Fedora and has systemd, but it has no network and you you shouldn't run anything there. Unless you think that systemd is actively malicious and specifically targets Qubes, any vulnerabilities in it are not exploitable.

QubesOS recently had an escape-the-qube-and-escalate-to-root exploit

Which happened for the first time since 2006 (for the currently implemented architecture with VT-d).

Didn't [insert literally any distro/operating system] have a root exploit recently?

Omarchy did, and still does because they aren't going to fix it.

omarchy is a clown show run by racists. there's no reason to mention it in response to qubes os

Omarchy is the other one that made the HN front page
