The Movuan project was started by community member lxb and announced in a forum post as an alternative to mobile distributions using the systemd init system. Thanks to being forked from Mobian, the project makes use of modified Mobian debos to build it’s images.

Movuan offers an image based on Devuan 5.0 (Debian 12) with Phosh.

Devuan for users who are unaware is a fork of Debian which provides alterative init systems to Systemd such as:

  • sysvinit (default)
  • openrc
  • runit
  • sinit
  • s6
  • shepherd

While it seems people are unhappy that your comment doesn't apply specifically to Linux phones, I found your comment informative.
