surf2 is in the devuan repos but perhaps not the main ones.

You should be more concerned about Palemoon's licensing than Devuan's. Though MX may have taken care of that for you.

If you don't support systemd, why would you be promoting it? *scratches head* BTW, "rude" is a personal judgment with no factual basis.
#2829 Re: Off-topic » [QUESTION] UKUI DE in Devuan? » 2018-01-23 16:56:26
Hello guys, I see that UKUI is systemd based... Didn't know that thanks!
If you're promoting an OS how can you or the writer of that blog not know something so basic? I searched for "UKUI systemd" and nothing came up. fungus dug a little deeper. Users who think like this treat their computer as an APPLIANCE and really don't give a toss what's under the hood. These are the same mindless users that take whatever MS or UKUI gives them. Mainstreaming Linux for users like that will be its undoing.
Just FYI . . . an oldie but goodie
#2830 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-23 00:01:20
KDE is a bit broken in Jessie. We're hoping to have it working in Ascii. Please see this mail thread for discussion. You might want to join the ML for the most up-to-date progress reports. You might also consider upgrading to ascii to help with the testing.

Thanks. It's obviously a non-starter here.

Through many funky desktop environments there are themes that simulate the aesthetics of Win XP,vista.7,8,10 and if people like this to adopt from one system to the other I find nothing wrong with them.
It attracts a certain mindset. Just look how that has worked out for Debian, Ubuntu etc. - a slow side downhill into a consumer-oriented winland parallel universe.
The fact that off the start the crappy desktop fork is loaded with systemd, pulse, gnome etc. is enough to not want to know much about it.
There was no mention of systemd in that stupid blog. And there's little that Google could find. Is this an assumption or fact?
If someone finds it important enough to make it systemd-free so it would be functional 100% in Devuan I don't see why that would be bad.
Why? We already have Mate.
When you hear people saying that without systemd this and that will not work and that is their justification for not wanting to try anything but a systemd based system, then the more that works without it the less of a logical argument those trolls have.
This troll mentioned nothing of systemd so how could there be an argument about it?

Meet The New Linux Desktop Environment Inspired by Windows 7? Hahahaha!!!
Probably the wrong audience to ask that question. There is not much love for either Ubuntu or Windows in this camp. Personally I would NEVER use anything that reminded me of either one. But I see where that might be an asset for those want turning Linux into a Windows style OS for the drooling masses.

And I don't even remember where I posted that I would contact dev1fanboy about something related to sans-dbus. I can tell that I tried (and contacted wrong Devuaner instead -- Ralph Ronquest I PM'ed, having mixed the nicknames somehow...
Hi miroR . . . I sent a short email to dev1fanboy asking him to have a look at your post..

I thought that could be done with pinning. Search for "downgrade" on this forum and the botbot logs for irc freenode #devuan.

#2841 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Installing Musescore 2.1 AppImage on Miyo i3 Jessie 64bit. » 2018-01-11 09:01:25
This brings up the issue of Flatpaks as an alternative to AppImages. Is it possible to use Flatpaks and ensure that systemd stays off my system?
A two minute search found this:
Is Flatpak tied to systemd?
No. Versions of flatpak before 0.6.10 relied on systemd for cgroups setup, but this is no longer required.]
However, this is not so encouraging - guilty by association:
Its lead developer is Alex Larsson, Principal Engineer at Red Hat.

Perhaps it's my warped sense of humor, but your literal and hardline stance cracks me up.
Awwwww . . . that's sweet.
I think I'll stay away from any more Buddhism stuff, because I'm not Buddhicipherous enough to know what's what.
You have a lot of company. 
Please don't take it personally . . .
Perhaps you want to move on to mushroom humor?

No need to apologize. Most Buddhists in the West make it up as they go along. It's really rather pathetic. But what makes you think that TM has any relevance to yoga either?
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels.
I looked at this for several minutes before I realized - baygulls. I am a diehard literalist.
What do you call a Texas Buddhist's mantra?
OM on the range.

Happy to see you finally got the TM stuff right.

#2850 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-02 22:22:26
I wasn't aware that a Devuan ascii .iso existed yet. I aways install the jessie base system, upgrade it to ascii, remove obsolete packages from the upgrade, and then start building from there.
Yes, there are no official ascii isos yet but fsmithred has a few unofficial isos floating around. I personally ran into issues with the eth0 device naming thing recently on one of those so will have to redo as an upgrade from jessie.
