Running Miyo ceres. I installed Mate and deleted Openbox. Can I delete the Xfce power manager without any consequences? I ask because in my notes for the old version of Miyo it says don't deleted it (I'm assuming that instruction came from MiyoLinux but it's been so long ago I can't remember). However, I know it's not running and the Mate manager is.

Thanks guys.There was indeed a refresh button (although it was next to something else besides "DVD+RW".)

So is this the Ceres which became Devuan 4?

Thanks HoaS, I got the .deb file installation working. But I'm still scratching my head over the other issue. I found the sample config file, but it is not matching the instructions I have. My instructions are to find the lines

backend = "xrender";
#backend = "glx";

and change them to

#backend = "xrender";
backend = "glx";

But I can only find this:

# Other
backend = "xrender";
mark-wmwin-focused = true;
mark-ovredir-focused = true;
# use-ewmh-active-win = true;
detect-rounded-corners = true;
detect-client-opacity = true;
refresh-rate = 0;
vsync = "none";
dbe = false;
paint-on-overlay = true;

# unredir-if-possible = true;
# unredir-if-possible-delay = 5000;
# unredir-if-possible-exclude = [ ];
focus-exclude = [ "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];
detect-transient = true;
detect-client-leader = true;

# xrender-sync-fence = true;

Regarding what hevidevi wrote, is that the case? I still have picom installed. Should I delete one or the other? The whole reason for this is that I have big time screen tearing in my browser.

Well, I have the latest SMPlayer installed via a .deb file, which I don't think is the most current offered by the database, and yet Synaptic shows it as installed. (Version 21.1.0+2.1) This is on Devuan 2.1.

According to the "horse's mouth," your cascade of people is only 2. Where are you getting your information?

Don't put any stock in the rankings on Distrowatch.

Thanks for this post, Artix Linux slipped under my radar, I never heard of it before. It looks like a good distro.

I'm still surprised some people are crying like babies over this. How many times did Firefox "break" these legacy extensions in the past? Why do you think some of those extensions had so many updates? You can't expect frozen extensions to continue to work forever in an actively developed browser. What's so hard to understand about that? I mean, people seem more upset over this than Firefox totally abandoning this type of extension in favor of webextensions. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I also get the impression that a high majority of people bitchin' over this don't even use Pale Moon (they just have a weird hatred of it).

I call B.S. on that article. I've been using Pale Moon for close to a decade now and it's a great browser. Better than the Chrome clones.

I've been "monitoring my monitor" since I last checked this thread. I don't think it's something nearby that's causing the problem. I guess the next thing to do is replace the cable if they're not too expensive (it's been a while since I had to buy one separately).

If that is the case, then this is somewhat of an issue with me. It would be nice if Devuan totally broke free from Debian but it doesn't seem like they have enough developers to do this.
