I've been losing trust in Debian ever since that co-founder was assassinated, and I want alternatives. Is Devuan any good?

It's the same as Debian but without systemd or any packages that depend on it. I use it and it's pretty good.

I used it since Jessie, it's literally Debian as-is except for the systemd dependencies. As a general observation Devuan tends to be even more minimalistic in terms of defaults so you may need to get under the hood more often than with vanilla Debian but not that much.

He wasn't involved with Debian at that point anyway. He was working for Docker, which it was later revealed after his death that the CIA had interest in.

Well you have a point, may i suggest Salix to OP? Being Slackware based makes it kinda parallel to debian in terms of legacy and it's not as barebone as slackware, it has even a package manager based on apt: slapt-get.
