Back in April Devuan 4.0 alpha builds began for this Debian fork/downstream that aims for init system freedom by allowing Debian GNU/Linux to work without a dependence on systemd. Devuan 4.0 is tracking upstream Debian 11 quite closely with its changes.

Following this weekend's full freeze for Debian 11 "Bullseye" , the Devuan project has now published a new set of ISOs.

A new round of Devuan 4.0 "Chimaera" alpha builds were published today for incorporating the latest upstream Debian 11 packages and changes paired with Devuan's init/systemd sanitization work.

Those interested in testing these latest alpha builds for Devuan 4.0 can find the new releases via the mirror .

Debian 11.0 should be officially released within the next quarter and it's looking like Devuan 4.0 stable will be close behind.
