It actually aims for KISS philosophy as much as possible without the pretentious "minimalism" crap.
Absolutly agreed. When I decided (long time ago) to pick Debian as my distro, I compared it with some others big players. Debian was, IMHO, the best hands down. Now, it is the time for Devuan to keep that spirit rolling.
Which is the best free webmail?
If you mean a server that manage mail with a web interface, a lot of people, like myself, agree on roundcube.

May be I have missunderstand you.
I'm so fucking frustrated
I would like to maintain a positive tone on my comments. I understand that you are upset. Sometimes we think that the world is against us. But there are nothing personal, Earth keeps spinning anyway.
Devuan and this very forum can be very helpful. I get my shit done using Devuan (and before that, Debian) for more than 20 years. GNU/linux is my OS of choice. Get used to it helps, sure. I'm not so confident using other OS, so I get angry when other systems don't work the way I want.
If you were so picky with any other OS as you are today whith Devuan, no OS would be fine for you, so you would need to write your own OS from scratch. Not an easy task.
If you are willing to do, my piece of advice is you to relax, count to 10 (or 100) and ask for ideas. If you are in a hurry for work, there are a lot of distros and OS to choose from.
Good luck.
Add a line like
NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE;
to the .desktop file for any apps you want to disappear from the menu.
Alternatively, you can use the line
NoDisplay=true
It should work on any DE that honor the specification.
I still can't run by double clicking, but if I run from terminal using <--no-sandbox>, it runs.
Now just need to find a way of running from the desktop without having to go into terminal all the time:-)
Easy-peasy: edit the .desktop file
I was unable to get the media player to push it through the TV.
Could you elaborate on this? I dont understand you.
the app will not run upon double click.
Try to start the file from terminal. May be there are some messsage.
trinity desktop looks better visually then kde or gnome in my opinion...
I don't argue about personal tastes, but I think that we have to take into account that any of them are highly themable.
always people that does not know nothing:
again talking without well knowed !
Your wording is a bit rude for me. In this forum we are used to another kind of tone. Your information, on the other hand, is very valuable; thanks.
I assume that I will need a fan for an i5 or i7 cpu as well as thermal grease.
Yes, they are too powerful to go fanless.
I assembled the system i was talking about myself. In Spanish:
http://pedroreina.net/hardware/chus/
but if are not confident with hardware, may be wise to get help on this side or even order the system already assembled. Usually they charge around $50, you can ask a quote beforehand.
"i5" & "i7" are fairly meaningless without the specific processor type, ... I know that the 10th & 11th generation Intel integrated graphics chips won't work at all in Devuan beowulf
Agreed, of course. I would like to point out that Beowulf run perfectly on my 9th generation Intel i5-9600T with the stock kernel.
I'm not an expert about Supermicro, but I've read
https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/ … d/X11SSV-Q
and the specs seem pretty standard to me: Socket LGA1151, 32 GB max RAM,...
I'm running Beowulf on a Socket LGA1151 mobo with newer CPU (an i5-9600T) and 32 GB of RAM without any issues.
Just my $0.02.
Could you see any error message before the prompt?
The r8152 driver has trouble within the 4.19 kernel:

can I install lightdm safely on my system?
I know that you already installed it, but I would like to show a theme I did for webkit2 greeter:
http://pedroreina.net/desarrollos/tlwg/
I'm using it with Beowulf.
it occurred to me that "desktop" is an odd label for a computer which sits on the floor under the desk
Very funny. I've been there: http://pedroreina.net/montaje/pentium233.jpg
Wellcome to the forum.
This is a bit strange: I just restarted the installation not in expert mode, but with 'install' (first option on first screen). It now gives me all the filesystems options that I'd expect, including ext3 and ext4.
May be in expert mode you accidentaly skipped one screen. I did it sometimes and went to bizarre situations as you described. I prefer the expert method anyway, but sometimes a small error gives you trouble: just be aware.
Anyone an idea where to start looking?
Have you tried to start Nautilus from a terminal? May be some message there.
The problem is very random.
In my experience, random behaviour is very often caused by faulty hardware.
does not load consistently
Could you support this with some log messages? Or describing the inconsistent behaviour?
Good thing the default is 'Y' so the Enter key is all one needs
The "-y" option is handy too.
Same behaviour here.
How about autoselecting the non-HDMI output for "non-"laptops? ALSA doesn't do that.
I dislike "autoselecting". But I can select the non-HDMI output with ALSA configuring it. There are a lot of info about that.
right-clicking on the icon does not provide a menu option to remove it.
May be your widgets are locked. Try this:
On the panel, click secundary mouse button, Unlock widgets.
I've tried searching the forum using "Alternatives to Virtual Box" but not coming up with anything. ... Do people find Qemu workable?
It seems so:

I don't want to go down the VMWare
I dont need VMWare since a lot time. In 2005 I had to buy a license because I did not find an alternative. Not needed anymore. YMMV.
Some evolution . . .
I like it. Thank you for your work.
