Honestly, servers are easy, and a few distros have always gone
pretty far with what they're doing with servers: Alpine Linux,
Void Linux, and many others I'm not following as closely. The
"big" or "mainstream" distributions are called that way because
they're the ones that people install on their desktops.

I'm interested in Devuan because I view it as a replacement for
Debian, which I had on my desktop at some point. If it's about a
server, I already have lots of distributions to pick from, including
not using one in the first place.
