Knoppix is also without systemd since release 8.6. Release 9.1 is current, though 9.2 is available via a German magazine.

Details and release history: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=knoppix

Having been released in 2021, Knoppix does not support Wayland, whereas the more recent Devuan does.

Both will boot live.

Official Devuan announcement of Daedalus 5.0 stable release:

The next Devuan release, 6.0, is codenamed Excalibur. Repositories are already available for the adventurous to test.

I would prefer if Debian also had alphabetic release names. With Buster, Bullseye and Bookwork I just can't memorize the order and age of those versions.

The people's appreciation we get is impressive: desktop Linux users (a 3% niche in the world, I know...) really like Devuan and, in general report a better experience on distros without systemd, see https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=ranking

thanks for posting the news here, there is a lot of love and attention to detail in Daedalus <3
