So for all such WMs i must to know coding. And its very hard and main problem(
dwm - C
xmonad - haskell
awesome - Lua
though it's a good reason to learn programming)

I am fond of the suckless method in regards to a workstation, it is very minimal and workable for my situation.
suckless.org
Good thing thanks!
Your idea is to replace de to dwm or similar wms? And this WMs is hard to tune and its have no many useful features that have DEs. To me personally such WMs only way is unusual and uncomfortable. Or i am wrong?

I don't think so. Nothing wrong with GNOME. We don't all use stone age machines and it's nice to have a polished, professional desktop in which there is actually a design principle.
FWIW I run it on a 12 year old ThinkPad X201 and it's fine, not slow at all. I have tamed it somewhat by masking half a million services but that's a systemd feature so I won't share it here.
True Linux nerd use only clean console(without GUI) GNOME and KDE(and all freesoftware) always been like monkey that repeats modern proprietary trends(why they don't invents something own?) That Linux its alternative to proprietary is good, but Linux always been in catch-up role.
#285 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan? » 2022-11-18 21:14:16
My dislike for GNOME dates back to 1999 or thereabouts, when they replaced the lightning-fast (g)mc file manager with that abortion commonly known as "nautilus". I'm probably a bit biased.
It's not the fault of the gnome. It's an eternal chase freesoftware to proprietary(since Unix times to MS times) trends. Why so i don`t know? Why all free gui its parody to proprietary gui?
In all honesty though, i have tried the GNOME 3... And I hated every second of it. I don't like the workflow, and I'm stubborn enough to expect my environment to conform to me, not the other way around...

This!^
Thanks you for opinion! Its very useful. Agree with you!
bloatware almost everywhere
Don't install a GUI at all
gui DE its habit
maybe in time I will find zen and come to the naked console;)
If anyone or anything mentions GNOME or GTK4
i am worry about GIMP i love him:) GTK4 ruins it too?
what do you recommend for replace GUI DE, browser, etc?

On sysvinit you can use sysv-rc-conf to enable and disable services.
sudo sysv-rc-confMake sure you know what the different runlevels are, or learn them. They are fairly simple, but important.
Nice tool! Thanks!

Anyhow, Devuan is a much better product.
:-)
Same here. I am drop pclinuxos because did not like them and now love Devuan:)

I am talking about responsiveness overall of system.
On Devuan now i using Trinity DE and its much faster than default xfce de. I have several DEs installed its can slowdown on my Devuan?
By why is Artix is so fast compare to Devuan? Boot time and ui responsiveness.

Install openrc

#297 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan? » 2022-11-16 16:54:09
Just leave it then. It doesn't make any real difference anyway..
I want to hope that after switch to OpenRC Devuan is will fast like Artix. Why Devuan is so slow compare to Artix for me?
I can't post there any more. Those forums are no longer cool enough for me.
And what is cool for you now?
#298 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan? » 2022-11-16 02:58:33
But that will still use sysvinit as PID1. To use openrc-init as PID1 see https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2788.
It to hard for me while. I am not have knowledge for this 80th lvl magic. Please, can you give me easier instuctions? Or explain those:)

If we talk about the speed of different releases without systemd, then subjectively, the fastest, with the same version of DE , PCLinuxOS works for me.
It's not a competitor to Devuan, just a roling release, a rollback is possible if you took a snapshot before the update, but all the latest innovations appear in the repo immediately.
In general, if you are bored, it is quite possible to try.
I am offended at pclinuxos. I am somthing ask at their forum and they baned me without any reasons. My nick is Procenko on pclinuxos forum.

for those wanting to try sid/ceres, keep backups at all times.for that moment something breaks in sid, you'll certainly want a backup available.
Thanks! Please give me advice. And what exactly need to backup? How do you this? And how restore is system broke?
