I used Debian for 27 years, until ascii (the last release without the 
nasty systemd), which I upgraded to Devuan ascii.  The upgrade process 
was flawless with everything working without problems for me (I don't 
use disgusting DEs like Gnome or KDE, of course).

In several systems, I've kept upgrading release after release of Devuan, 
changing every part of the hardware in the way, and it keeps working 
great.

In the BSDs, I much prefer the more classic text installers, where I'm 
in control, but NomadBSD and GhostBSD have graphical installers which 
seem to be much simpler and easier to use than the Ubuntu one.
