the correct way is to read /etc/os-release
in there there is a line:

NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux"

if grepping, I recommend using a wildcard for the slash, as in future
it may switch to our official notation "GNU+Linux"

for example using the line:

. /etc/os-release && echo $NAME | grep 'Devuan GNU.Linux'


thanks for your help on this one!

ciao
