On the box in question, I replaced the broken ubuntu upgrade with debian.
I am running devuan on two other systems, though.  One is older, the other
is an sbc that does not have thex-server installed (cli only).  It seems
to be as stable as debian, once you get it installed and tweaked.

Could be, but devuan (without GUI) on the samehardware does not random
reboot.  I suspect that not running systemd *might* make it a little less
memory intensive, but I could be 100% wrong.
