I am reinstalling everything. Not a big issue because the devuan install was recent (~10 days ago).

i could still log in through command line, without startx. I saved everything and reinstalled devuan. This time from netinstall*
Krita and everything is going fine so far.

*because i believe it upgrades packages while installing, instead of the offline installer which lags slightly in terms of package versions, which in return would help me with the krita issue hopefully

Hello. Novice user here. Devuan ASCII on Mini Pc Gigabyte Brix Core I3

I was wondering about Krita and its unstable, random crashes on my computer. When i used krita, it would randomly crash without error messages. I didn't try to debug it.

So i tried to upgrade krita to from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 (debian versioning system, as krita actually says it is at version 3.1.1 )
I've done it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list  putting debian buster repo, then update, then install one dependency of krita ( libglx0 i think ).
Afterwards, after a reboot, the system no longer logs into startx
Do you have an idea on how to fix this?

I tried with apt-get dist-upgrade

Are the incompatibilities between devuan and debian so profound that i cannot upgrade a single package by using debian repo?
