I think miyo deserves to become the official Devuan-Openbox installation image.
But why has the obmenu-generator vanished from upstream (ascii-ceres-didn't check on experimental)?
Is it because a newer version has dependencies that are no longer there?
It is an essential part of vuu-do/miyo which gets messed up in ascii/ceres

I really enjoy MiyoLinux but I had to hack a bit.
It is amazing how small the image is and how much it has packed in there.  I have seen images with 2wice the size which I spend an hour throwing stuff away and installing what I really need.  RAM in openbox is unreal (Devuan and Miyo deserve credit).  JWM which I was unaware of till recently has nothing compared to the functionality of Miyo and Vuu-do too.
In terms of functionality the only thing missing was ralink-firmware which I needed to go online with my wifi.  Not knowing what is missing I copied the whole firmware folder from Devuan to Miyo, and POP it came on.  It seems that it existed in Vuu-Do as I went online with live before installation and I was pleasantly surprised that the wifi configuration transferred to the installation.

In terms of aesthetics I dislike the icons, but not really on aesthetics but because I will have to teach my brain all over again which icon is which.  So I'd rather stick to boring than having to learn all over something of no value.  Yes, they look better, but I have to hover over a whole bunch to see where the one I need is.  It may be a good thing as I eventually just skipped the icon thing and just typed the command on the terminal.

While the forum was down I was trying to find out where to get refracta.  So I copied all installed files from miyo to my basic devuan install and checked the dependencies to make sure I have them all.  I found out that gawk was not installed in miyo, but I have no idea of how essential it is.

You might want to check it.
I am playing around with refracta trying to come up with my own m.i.y.o. edition of LXDE on ceres
I now have a miyo on ascii and a devuan on ceres, following changes, development, and stability.

I call for moderation!

I logged in to my devuan openbox and opened a terminal and run the neofetch profiler

Compared to extremely similar setups with other systems on the same box, openbox in devuan
scored 1st with artix second by about 40% better.  Systemd based systems were much much higher in ram.

Here is the outcome, https://pasteboard.co/GDHFhJl.png

Guess what, in arch/manjaro/artix openrc where you can have the generator the menu does not work anywhere near the conky surface.
You shut conky off and it works everywhere. 

From jessie to ascii 4.9 comes automatically in my experience, and I believe 4.11 comes with ceres, but
you will still be running 3.16 while you are doing an upgrade.  When I do such hops I don't care about the next kernel as much as about the transition.  I like to update/upgrade what is most essential for the transition, even though in 99% of times it may not matter.  I like to upgrade apt,dpkg,synaptic,,.... first and then rerun the update/upgrade with whatever tool is used.  The new tool is always safer doing the edition hop, even though it is running on an older kernel which I have yet to see a problem with.  I always keep 1-2 kernels backup just in case the new runs into a bug.

Sorry, I had been withdrawn to a new project.  Yes it works but I have rearranged some things already so it is OK

The issue I am wondering is why the package obmenu-generator flew away?
It is not just devuan it is debian too.  It is gone in testing/sid.
It works fine on arch/manjaro/artix and I have vuu-do conk and menus there now

A bit off-topic:

Manjaro did finally a debian and it will be turning to systemd only in the next month or two.
The ManjaroOpenRC (project) is no longer being supported, although it was never promoted
as its own.  Soon anyone running it will break if they update, they say.
So the team with a sideproject in videogaming development, has forked backwards into
an Arch fork with openrc.  They are calling it artix, see my signature and they are using
LXQT as their default wm.  So openbox comes with the installer which is more selective
than I have ever seen, all the way down to subpackages of a package.
Not bad at all for an announounced distro.

I started way back.  I first used forms of unix in school, after useless time with dos-pc and mainframe vt100 terminals, then I used x-windows in SGI and SUN machines at work, when they would cost as much as a decent house, and win31 at home.  Then I went into a phase where I refused to work indoors and inside
office space.  Still did stuff with pcs for mariners wanting charts and autopilots connected and gps stuff, as I had worked on chartography before I started fixing
boat and driving trucks.  I had a navigational system in the truck before anyone had heard the term in the trucking industry    You can make money back then
if you didn't get lost and did not trust maps blindly
That was a good period.  Finally someone who had only used MSwin told me that all computers in the market are 64bit now.  So I made a comeback and since I can no longer do outdoor work much, I still knew I should try AMD stuff and linux.  Hey ls stil worked   and so did chmod and etc.  It all came back.
After winxp spending 10' fixing  someone's problem would get my stomach upset.  After catching up on the status of things debian making such a big deal on free and open had me attrackted.  The more I studied up on what systemd and associates were really up to the more I got disoriented with people defending that choice in debian.  I went with Manjaro for a while for the rush at latest stuff and their openness (advertised) on init systems.

Then devuan became stable and got my attention, although for some reason I had an older image and never got around in trying it.  Manjaro makes alot of noise
and claiming many things that they have yet to deliver.  Apart of systemd their claim of being friendly to init systems is small communities of users just trying to make it work.  Their prime system is systemd, but it is rock solid.    Linus signs something and 2 weeks later it shows up on testing and it works just like the one from two weeks before.  But OpenRC/sysvinit is still a project for development.  You can get it to work but you never know whether the next update will give you
functional system.  5 people on the forum is all the support you may ever get.

Now the systemd gangsters are thinking that by the time it will be revealed what is what it will be too late, as 90% of servers and users will be "customers" without a choice.  So this is worth any discomfort of fixing stuff like a holly war against the rich and poweful.    Can anyone verify that a sealed copy of systemd is not part of windows already?   Money interests can get many bad choices be very effective.

Is there a gray area for those who have not found exactly what they need, funboyz, and distrohoppers?
I believe there is.   If you know too much you don't need a distro, you can build a system on your own. 
Most of us can't.  I don't think there is anyone I know that can build a system of similar capabilities of a
debian or an arch.  Collaboration among those that do know can build a system within the parameters
of an agreed philosophy.  Some of us are here under the illusion that what is stated as philosophy is
the actual guide for doing things.

I would have never left debian, despite of systemd, if I thought the philosophy was the guide and not
personal and economic interests that guided decisions.  Based on the commitment to such a philosophy
I currently think that if there is a future this is it.  But markets do not work on facts and people are like
bees on syrup.  So clicking on distrowatch is a way of telling the easily trapped that there is something
good here, better take a look.  Otherwise they will be lost in slumbundu-land.  I have never installed
mint or ubuntu, not because they are bad, but because that is what this market sells.  But I have tried
loads of crappy suspicious stuff that are on the bottom of the list, which is too bad.

"no source no god" 2700 years ago (I think that is how long it was) someone explained that if there
is such a thing as god logic must surely have preceded his existence, so if he exists he must have
incorporated logic.  Heraclitus

Well. the topic was about responding to violet instead of purple, and 3.16 and all .... so, what can possibly be OT?
It is not like talking about bears and scales or something.
