Devuan is not Debian-based at all. It is its own separate project with its own repositories and seeks to replace Debian.
It is about as much Debian-based as Ubuntu is.

Sorry, I misinterpreted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan to mean it was Debian-based. or it's simply incorrect.

Unless the article is mistaken, I think this is hairsplitting the meaning of "-based." It says Devuan is a fork of Debian; that's what I meant, whether or not "-based" can mean "fork of."

As far as I can understand it, they are like an almost-clone of Debian where all systemd packages and dependencies are removed from all the packages. But trying to replace the whole catalogue of Debian's packages must be a huge task.

antiX reviews may be high however unlike MX a number of reviews do go along the line of "antiX is great but..... some issue here" which are worth considering.

Now you got me reading DW reviews. This one about Ubuntu :
Version: 17.10

A friend suggested I should try this os, the installation was easy enough, he did the work. Used gnome desktop as told it was not so easy to change from windows to linux with a lot of configuration needed. He said gnome is ready for anyone to use. So good so far, seemed not so much different to Windows. Very slow on my old computer.
Im writing this from MX Linux which a classmate suggested, it is far more enjoyable to use as well as really easy to install. feels much faster too.

Proudly did it on my own although Im not so bright in computer stuff, really amazed my boyfriend.
I have a secret, I Learnt how from you tube.

... I have a secret, I Learnt how from you tube.
When it comes to learning MX/AntiX on YouTube, the real secret weapon is Mr. (and lately Mrs. too) dolphin_oracle. Having someone who is integrated into the development of the distros--and also a skilled user---and also a good teacher with a public face--is an awesome thing that no other distro can offer. Or at least not with the same depth and longevity.

As I try to get better and more skilled myself, I keep going back and rewatching things like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSVd1cRIWAI .

It's priceless for learning. Thanks, man.
