I am a Linux user, but I don't really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?

No the changes for "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" were still in there. Those worked fine for debian 8, 9, and 10 (with adjustments made in udev rules to rename eth4 and eth5 to wan0 and wan1), but neither option seemed to have any effect after upgrading to deb11. When I went searching for renaming the devices in deb11, the first several articles all stated to create link files in interfaces.d, but after all the trouble I went looking further and finally found one that referenced putting the link files in the systemd folder. I just linked the files so they are available in both locations, and that change has continued working for several further reboots so I'm crossing my fingers.

Ah, they might have killed that option in newer kernels. Vaguely remember something about it being a temporary fix, I guess its time has come.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
