I want to default to #Devuan, with an occasional #Debian (or #Ubuntu family, or #Linux_Mint) then use other distros on an as needed basis.
I have one computer at home that runs #NixOS and one that runs #OpenSuse. I'm likely to keep the SuSE machine running that software, but NixOS is too different and too bleeding edge for someone who regularly leaves home for a year. -

Zeal is in the official repos for #Debian and #Ubuntu derived distros and also for #Fedora, #Gentoo, #openSuSE. -

I dislike some of their defaults already:
1. Expects an Ethernet connection. To autostart Wi-Fi, you have to edit a couple of files (one to enable #Wi-Fi and disable #Ethernet, one to enter your Wi-Fi logon information). It should accept either connection by default and use a "wifi-config" program to set up the connection.
2. Defaults to hostname 'dietpi' instead of having you name your device as part of setup.
3. Apparently, 'root' and 'dietpi' users exist with same password ('dietpi') ... the change password step of the setup appears to give both accounts the same password.
4. This is common among nearly every GNU+Linux distro these days: I want my systems to use UTC timezone ... but where most distros use a 'locale' setting to set a local timezone, DietPi assumes I'm in London. It chose BST as the timezone.
The good.
1. There doesn't seem to be a lot of unnecessary junk installed. I'm using a 16GB microSD card, so I don't want anything that isn't needed for the chosen task.
2. Uses #Raspian / Raspberry Pi OS and #Debian repos along with its own, so most of what I might want to install is available.
3. DietPi-Survey is disabled by default. -

Another #sudo hole; #Debian stable & #Ubuntu LTS not affected.
Watch your distro's repos for updates soon.

I should probably also send #Debian or #Devuan or #Ubuntu, but if he gets the first server running, that's fine for now. -

The #Debian machine updated from 9 (Stretch?) to 10.5 (Buster?). The #NixOS and the #Fedora machine are in progress. The OpenSuse machine has not been started. The #Devuan machine ran out of disk space, so I’ll redo it from scratch. -

The Debian machine is upgrading to from 9 (Stretch) to 10 (Buster). The Devuan machine is upgrading from 2.x (Ascii) to 3.x (Beowulf). After they finish, I’ll look at the #Fedora and #OpenSuse machines. -

If necessary, put the nick in a parenthetical. I can figure out that version 10 is newer than version 9, and that 20.04 is newer than 18.04, but what the heck does a "Ravenous Rabbit" nick tell me? -

That does not exist on my #Debian / #Devuan / #Ubuntu machines. -

Not yet in #Debian / #Ubuntu repos, so I may wait a while before I move it forward in my "try this" list. -

On #Debian 10 (I think it is “Buster”, but I’m not sure about the codenames), #PHP is at version 7.3. I think Debian 9 may still have php7.2. -

Also, are you aware of any #Red-Hat derivatives that are #SystemD free? Or are such distributions only available in #Debian and #Gentoo families of Linux distros? -

As much as I want to have that information available, I don’t want #Debian and #Kubuntu updates to take as long as #Win10 updates do, nor to have near 100% CPU usage during listdifferences’ runs.
.
I’ll probably remove apt-listdifferences later today. -

One is midway through installing #Debian stable and the other will probably get #NixOS.
