Hey, Miyo . . . what a great video! Loved the music (tho a little dramatic) and your ever-present sense of humor. i3 looks interesting. Might try it if I weren't snowed under theming ascii etc.

Have you looked at the Debian wiki?

Look at KatolaZ' minimal live isos. He worked with the speakup community to make it accessible. This from his website:
A very special thanks goes to Gregory Nowak, Parham Doustdar, Jude DaShiell, John G Heim, Rob, and all the people in the Linux-speakup mailing list (http://www.linux-speakup.org/) for their encouragement and support, and for providing invaluable feedback about accessibility. Without their help, I couldn't have seen what was needed in order to make the minimal live images easier to use for visually-impaired users.
The isos are available from files.devuan.org.

Problem is that the thumbnailer is useful . . . 
#2861 Re: Devuan » Considering migration from a different distribution. » 2017-12-21 10:10:13
I can only answer one of your questions.
Is there a way to install directly Beowulf or Ceres (without systemd of course), or must I start from the base and do upgrades stages by stage ?
Currently there are only 'official' install images for Devuan Jessie. There are 'unofficial' images for Ascii but official ones will be coming soon. Beowulf will not be available until after the Ascii release and then only by upgrade or unofficial isos until Beowulf 3.0 released.

Thanks to fsmithred, I found the culprit with top - tumblerd! I work with a lot of graphics and video (not so much these days) and that app creates image icons. fsr confirmed that it "causes some serious thrashing". If I can ever get the theming for ascii finished, I'll do some reading about how to deal with it - SP produced plenty of reading.

Doesn't thunar have a search function?
Nope. Not a native one. An external search function can be added as a thunar custom action. This from the archwiki:
Search for files and folders
To use this action you need to have catfish installed. The optional dependency mlocate should be installed as well.
Name Command File patterns Appears if selection contains
Search catfish --path=%f * Directories
To kill unwanted start-up services, try Boot-Up-Manager (BUM) from the repo for a nice GUI tool to enable/disable services at startup and/or kill/start them during session.
Thanks for the suggestion.
#2864 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Frequent indexing thrashes HDD » 2017-12-20 18:03:08
It's not (usually) a file system thing, so I'd imagine you have some kind of 'indexing service' running? Without more details, it's going to be difficult to say. If it's something which starts with a particular desktop you're running, just disable it.
If I did have an indexing sevice I wouldn't know how/where to find it. AFAIK it's just a standard Xfce. I do have catfish search tool installed. That's the only thing I can think of that might be responsible. If anyone knows of a better GUI search tool, please do share.

My system indexes several times a day. Moving files around triggers it which makes sense but does it have to do it so often? It's not only annoying (at the most inconvenient times), it makes the system unusable until it finishes doing it's thing. I can't remember exactly when this started but it's been happening for a while. I've just been lazy about attending to it. Is there a conf somewhere to regulate this behavior?

You should start new topics on appropriate sections for technical matters so other people can locate questions and answers easier as a reference. If you do a search for D1h chances are that on an off-topic with getting to know you as a title there will not be any relevant information.
Otherwise poor golinux has to go around all day cutting and pasting posts to threads.
This is true. I've been debating what to do with the ramblings in this topic . . . I really don't have time to sort this mess. I will leave it to the individuals in this thread to self-moderate by moving technical content to more appropriate topics and then deleting the posts here.

The same old same old BS and this time from an unknown person who has not a clue how to design a website. makh, you need to get a life . . .
Anyways, whats holding the Stable release of Ascii, despite now debian current progress to the 4th point release?
You really have no idea what it takes to do what we're doing do you . . .

Have you seen this? https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=549
Since we're back on topic, I guess I'll move the last two posts back to the original thread if there are no objections.

I sure hope nobody is giving you stick because you are female.
Good grief no! The devs here don't think in terms of chromosome hierarchy.
