Thanks for the input everyone, I ended up on Debian13 Cinnamon and it all works........Unfortunately I think this SystemD stuff has metastasized as far as gaming goes.

What actual issue or error are you seeing?

Mostly stuff fails to open. Then when you try it from terminal you get a bunch of errors about udev sessions or mismatches. Usually a reboot fixes it but its odd. That is what Heroic was doing. Steam flat out refused to run after a few errors no matter what I did.

I know its probably a me problem but Steam and even Heroic Launcher have been a real issue lately from not having udev. Steam did not even want to start from Flatbak or Native.

I dualboot distros so I have been on Devuan for a long time but I just setup Debian on my other drive for now because of this.

Any other gamers in here that have any pointers for me?

FYI I am running Cinnamon(Xorg) and Nvidia proprietary drivers from the repos on both installs.

the attac was performed through a login as root via ssh. With the correct password. No attepts to guess it could be found.

#7 Re: Devuan » As an extensive user, GIMP 2.10.x is unusable. 2.8.x is great though! » 2026-08-10 20:19:04

Could be an opportunity to fork it at 2.8 and possibly release it as a flatpak.

#8 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] nvidia-persistenced daemon issue (sysvinit) » 2026-07-27 20:51:12

IIRC doesn't 10 series and older cards actually work better with nouveau????........Also YMMV but I added the nvidia cuda driver debian repo on my system and it works good with my 3080

I meant no ill will, I was just asking about something that seemed concerning.

#10 Re: Off-topic » Debian looking to switch to the non-GNU Rust based uutils » 2026-07-07 19:37:45

My gut tells me that once uutils get "good enough" then RHEL & Ubuntu will implement them in ways that basically makes Linux go the way Android did with a locked down ecosystem etc.

Worst case scenario I guess is going to Slackware or whatever sticks with GNU and no SystemD

Does this mean anything for us and are there any plans to go full fork if it does????

#12 Re: Installation » Firefox lags and sometimes freezes completely on Devuan 6 » 2026-06-08 17:38:56

install the uBlock Origin extension. Most of the ads on the 'modern' internet make it completely unusable.

#13 Re: Devuan » Will Wayland on Gnome etc. work on Devuan 6 in the future release? » 2026-05-29 19:32:17

JMHO but Gnome is unusable for a desktop traditionalist like me......I have been Gnome free since Gnome3

#15 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Plasma login manager all white » 2026-04-27 16:09:04

This happens on several distros because no theme has been assigned to the login screen in the KDE control panel. I really wish that would het addressed. Anyway just pick a login screen theme and it should be good.

I run it via Prism Launcher all the time

who is behind it and yes you can host your own instance but do they also maintain centralized control?

#18 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-04-18 22:14:57

My cynical side says that's the point. As with end to end encryption, everyone must be pwnable at the hands of the state.

This is just going to bring back webrings and BBS's, and that's a good thing.

#19 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Transfering an OS from HD to SSD » 2025-07-01 20:12:13

Just be sure your /etc/fstab is listed by UUID and not drive path. I would also turn off swap for the move.

#20 Re: Off-topic » Caveat emptor -> Kingston DataTraveler Exodia M USB 3.2 » 2025-06-26 15:48:47

USB sticks can be hit or miss. I tend to avoid all things TeamGroup since their SSD's were dropping like flies at work.

I have had the best luck with MicroCenter branded USB thumbdrives......You don't have to live near a MicroCenter either I ordered them from Amazon. Cool thing is they also have a LED that blinks when their is r/w going on.

Isn't Chimera EOL?.......the repos might not even still be active.

#22 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-24 20:27:53

@LibertySysadmin

No harm in testing. I usually get something exotic like that sorted out in a VM first then goto HW.

#23 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Asking for the install cd that is already mounted when I chose RUNIT » 2025-06-24 16:35:54

Apt know what to do based on what's in sources.list and the installer is messing with that file and with mounting/unmounting cdrom when it thinks it should do that. Someone is working on the fix.

I'm not upset or anything, that's why its called 'testing'........funny part is I just reverted back to SysV anyway since the Devuan implementation of runit seems to be a weird hybrid of SysV and runit. I was trying to go for the VOID experience of pure runit. No big deal SysV works good.

#24 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-24 16:32:30

Kinda goes against the Debian/Devuan Stable philosophy but good luck. You would probobly have an easier time in Sid/Ceres.

Keep in mind this is the very first release and even they say its Beta out of caution because stuff will break with a hard fork like this. I would suggest you give them a couple months to get settled in and by then somebody will probobly get a repo spun up etc.

#25 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Asking for the install cd that is already mounted when I chose RUNIT » 2025-06-23 15:39:47

Update: right before I selected runit, I dropped to console, chrooted /target and edited /etc/apt/sources.list to comment out the cdrom line. The installer continued normally when I selected runit.

THANKS......you would think that apt could figure out to pull packages from the online repos in its sources.list
