Making wishes come true needs skills.

Wishing for decarbonization needs skills.

Here's some description of us building decarbonization skills shaped around our real world constraints.

Intricacies required for changing locomotives on our moving train with all its momentum, long train of carriages.

Delighted!

I was _trying_ not to proselytize but I'm _almost_ there. 😂

And sorry, I should have included a pointer!

There's a live installer that (before installation) can give you a sense of how it might work for you.

Whether it's worth it depends in part on how much/where mind-muscle memory is invested in prior experience. As well, for me systemd has proven to be a small reliability problem in certain extra sensitive applications.

Because I'm lazy (aka "not enough time!") I use it also for making the laptops go.

I've been using Devuan as daily driver for perhaps 4-5 years now and have not run into any issues.

Devuan behaves like Debian but without pros/cons of systemd.

Yet another interesting energy storage system looming into view now that our warped perspective of what energy actually costs is corrected. Fossil hydrocarbons clouded our economic perspective for dealing with "needs to work for a long time." That myopia is clearing.
