While Linux used to be a fun hobby the legacy Unixes which put a roof over my head are deader than a Norwegian Blue and so Linux is having to become a job and there are more people prepared to pay for Dead Rat skills so these days I tend to work mostly on RHEL and it's clones.
I do keep meaning to have a real play with Devuan as it seems to offer the best chance of separating the behaviour of modern Linux kernels from the behaviour of systemd and the sprawling tentacles of its ecosphere or at least systemd-udevd.
How much of the stochastic nature of device initialisation is due to parallelism within the kernel or within systemd's udev?
The systemd dev team seem fixated with Linux on a laptop whereas my paying customers see it as a server operating system and tend to have significantly more NICs and HBAs and so their boxes behave in an altogether different manor.
