Genuen is a libre spin of Devuan GNU/Linux (a fork of Debian without systemd), allowing users to get control over their computer and ensuring Init Freedom.

Welcome to genuen, a ready-to-use operating system that aims to be entirely free as in freedom. This means that we reject all the nonfree stuff, whether software, manuals or documentation. Free software is about having control over the technology we use, empowering people against proprietary software and digital restrictions. When it comes to Free software, the term free relates to freedom as in free speech, and not to cost.

The mechanism for merging devuan and genuen mirrors is amprolla, an apt repository merger originally intended for use with the Devuan infrastructure, where merged packages get translated by some magic to a local mirror or redirected to a external one, as the case may be.

As in the devuan scenario, genuen package repositories are exclusive as well, that is to say they shouldn't be mixed with other apt-based repositories, including Devuan, Debian, Ubuntu and the like.
