Problems with typos (debuan vs. devuan) aside, assuming that all the folks running search engines are conspiring to make a Linux distro hard to find seems a bit far fetched to me. Even thinking that Google is plotting against devuan is a bit hard to imagine. So, out of curiosity, I did a (very tiny) experiment. When I put "debuan" into a Google search field, the page that returned said: > About 40,400 results (0.62 seconds) > Did you mean: debian > > Search Results > > debuan | systemd-free linux community > https://sysdfree.wordpress.com › tag › debuan > Posts about debuan written by sysdfree-editor. > ... The above link (https://sysdfree.wordpress.com/tag/debuan/) went to a page containing a vitriolic screed against Debian. Yeeps! However, the results page also contained the following inset box: > See results about > > Debian GNU/Linux > Software > > Devuan > Operating system Clicking the second one brought me to a search results page for Devuan: https://www.google.com/search?q=Devuan So, let's all try to dig a bit harder before creating and promulgating yet another conspiracy theory.
