When I tried it in late June 2025 on my ThinkBook 13s G4 IAP I had a few issues; No sound without a workaround, system monitor required systemd so it would work, and I wasn't able to get power profiles to work.

I have been using KDE Plasma 6.3.6 in normal Debian 13 since, because the battery life on Devuan was even worse than normal ("thin and light" + good CPU/GPU = HAHAHAHA! Your battery is too small!). Debian is fine, great even, but I would rather use Devuan as a matter of principle, I just can't be arsed to make it work. I suppose that makes me a bad person. Oh well.

I have KDE Plasma on Excalibur in addition to xfce. I’m watching the development. So far it’s going well. I think it will continue to do so in the future.

Hello everyone.

Been away for a while, couple of years now, and have quite recently upgraded my computers to Excalibur; it was a bit tricky, as I had to go through Daedalus etc ...
But, I am very happy with how it works!

Thank you!
