Probably because mainline kernels include all the new drivers......or it may not have been stripped.

I've used both in the past, & MIYO was the first choice for me for quite a while, but now, if I don't use the official media, I will use Crowz, which is another lightweight setup.

I was just pointing out that some newbies might be put off as they were outdated...

The ones I know of are MIYO & Star, I believe.

As you have installed Abiword, I'd install gnumeric as well, much easier than sc-im, (which I quite liked myself as a CLI program).

Also, might want to check out feh for images - https://feh.finalrewind.org/

I think you will find it is because you upgraded the xz-utils package, which is obviously part of xz....

I used to always add mc - screen - sc/scim as I liked to use them at the command line; they don't take up much room, but along with vi/vim, they make a nice set of tools.

No loss to the forum, which is actually for info & questions relating to Devuan.

I only once looked in to see what it was about when it first appeared, never been back to it.....but was just curious about this thread....

I was suggesting replacing the internal HDD with an SSD, as it would give quicker booting & access to programs & files.

With most window managers, additional programs need to be added manually, it's not hard, just one more step....

Add your program whilst running 'live', take a snapshot, put that snapshot onto your disk - that's how I've done it.

Looks interesting, most text browsers are difficult to navigate with, I have found, but this is looking like we could do away with a GUI altogether.

Seasons Greetings!
