Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd that allows users to reclaim control over their system by avoiding unnecessary entanglements and ensuring Init Freedom.

Gotta love this linux rhetoric, man! It's so out there.

I don't want to be in control of starting up all the services during boot.
I want the init system to do that.

You don't want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn't let you log in to fix it. It just shows a "infinitely bouncing asterisk" and hopes it will magically get better.
