I don't want to support microsoft and I don't want them controlling my computer.

Pros and cons of ditching them?

Any guides or tutorials or the process?

Any advice is appreciated!

Any issue that Devuan has with drivers will be present in Debian as well. Devuan is 95-99% Debian under the hood, they've only removed the systemd packages and changed any that have hard dependencies on systemd libraries.

~80% of users will have no problems with just enabling the non-free repos and then installing the appropriate drivers for their card. It goes up to ~95% if the Nvidia driver repos are used, as they're more frequently updated, and are more inline with the Windows versions. They're only needed for gaming though, regular desktop use is perfectly fine with the repo versions.

The main problem with linux is drivers, that's it

The fuckeries with systemd is just stuffs you read, that's not real life problems

And debian is sometimes a pain in the ass with its "purist" philosophy, stuffs are lacking as a result, you have to add manually... Take the distro where you don't have to do it then
