   I have some MX Linux DVDs that came with Linux Magazine and have used them as   
   last resort / emergency installs for workstations at work.   
      
   I think it ships with systemd by default, though. I think it is just not   
   enabled.   
      
   MX Linux is good for eye candy but I personally don't think it makes sense to   
   install it if you have a Devuan DVD available. I think you don't gain much by   
   moving from Debian/Devuan to MX Linux but you are placing yourself further   
   downstream which is always problematic.   
      
   So well, it works more often than not, but it does not bring anything new to   
   the table. You can do much worse than installing MX Linux, certainly.
