I would take the time to learn Debian first, as there is much more support.
But I am very impressed by Devuan. The devs and admins seem to know what they
are doing, and only lack resources and time. Other forks look rather
amateurish by comparison, but Devuan looks almost like an exact clone of all
the best about Debian (namely, stability, and control for the user), and gets
rid of the questionable stuff like systemd and dbus.
Still, I tried Devuan a couple times already, and had issues, and am preparing
to give it another go. If I were attempting to do this in another language, I
would have problems. (And German would come about #12 on my list.)

Yeah, name my fears. Thanks!
Seriously: I won't change a lot on that system anyway, so nevermind.
And surely I won't install my first non-debian system NOT on a computer,
which is not in my direct reach...
As a second step I'll watch out for devuan. And I'm all ears for better
choices, but until now I haven't found a better support forum in my
native tongue (german) other than debian. (Yeah, I know. But sometimes
it is easier to have this problems discussed in your navite language)

If you stay with debian be prepared for systemd shooting it's foot in
creative ways ... As I point out in my "quick &
dirty" method, I avoid these problems by
saving the packages to an external drive, then use dpkg to install them
when necessary.
In the beginning of KDE4 I thought I might use trinity myself, but went
more "spartan" some time ago by using fluxbox. And since I learned, that
this "special" user tends to forget things anyway, I use anydesk now to
solve problems, which are the same anyway and are NOT depending on which
DE is used, so maybe I just use software from the official repros to
avoid trouble like this.
