Secure your computer, by not going online, it's that simple - pull the plug!

All the 'Free' search engines are funded by companies promoting their products, it's a kind of advertising, we all know that, but it can be annoying when you are looking for 'genuine' information; but what's the alternative? I'll use different search engines if I'm looking for something really specific, & I'll always get different results - you pays yer money for what you get.....

Got no problem with captchas, as long as they work properly, some don't, or are somewhat iffy, but if it helps reduce spam, or something like that, I can see the point, but for my own interests, it will just be a pain in the ar*e, I think.

Anyway, I've got a 'stock' of old machines, so as long as Linux in general doesn't demand it, I'll be fine.

But, Debian now include all the drivers necessary, at long last...but I'll still stay with Devuan, The 'True' Debian.

Yes, it will fit with space to spare, if memory serves me right, it's about 4~5GB installed.

I don't really see the point...

Why use a kernel from another O/S - just 'Devuanize' one of the BSDs, if it's the look & feel that you're after.

Alternately, get on board the Hurd project, it was designed to work with GNU (Linux) software utilities.

I had a problem with sound, I switched over from a VGA monitor to a HDMI without built in speakers, but when I went back to the VGA monitor, everything was working fine - I don't think pulseaudio takes that fact into consideration, because I had it set to analogue stereo, which should have worked via the audio out socket.

Yes, sorry, both 'live' versions have been updated, & I assumed that the 'desktop' would have been too, 'my bad', as some say.

For anyone who is interested in having a look, (not 11.1.0, but will give you the idea of what it was) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/archiveos/files/s/sharpbang/sharpbang-buster-10.2.0-i386.hybrid.iso/download

Fluxbox is king as far as I'm concerned, but basically any WM is better than a DE, I'd even take JWM.......

I too, was a #! user, until its demise, found AntiX & enjoyed my stay there, until 'new blood' kept putting more & more into the menus & making it less like it was when I found it, hence why I'm now here; I still prefer a lightweight WM distro, but Devuan Live is as easy to install as AntiX was, & I'm getting older & lazier - Devuan is my main distro now.

I use the ones here - https://arm-files.devuan.org/

Unzip it, then image write it to your card, (I use dd).
