Installed the Vendewolf LXQT DE on a Lenovo MiiX 510-121kb that I recently acquired. Long time Debian user but have been looking for an excuse to try Devuan out and this seemed the ideal opportunity. Was looking to go super lightweight although TBF the Lenovo isn't exactly poorly spec'd with intel i5 7200 cpu, 8gb RAM, 256gb SSD.  So can confirm that encryption also failed on LXQT install but the upside is that the etc/sudoers.d file was empty. One or two minor bugs but presumably there will be a tweaks update before too long.

It's possible that the dev's have already tidied up some of the issues previously reported and I have found this install to be an enjoyable experience so far, so I might just stick with it for now at least, assuming there are no more surprises. One thing I can report is it's lightening fast on this 6 year old mid range Lenovo laptop.
