If that is a typo, it needs to be corrected. If that is what you actually tried to install, try non-free-firmware instead.

Perhaps this thread will be helpful?

Ustable and Testing Systemd.

It is not on the banned packages list so we must do something creative to transform it.

From the Beowulf release notes. It's always a good idea to read them. 

The person responsible for systemd now works for Microsoft after he wormed systemd into Linux. The Debian vote was a sham:

@WDstudios . . . Please keep in mind that the main purpose of dev1galaxy is TECHNICAL assistance. Please keep nonsense posts like the ones greeting me this morning to a minimum. They just bloat our logs for no useful purpose. Please try to restrain yourself . . .

And here I was hoping you might want to jump in and take over the Devuan theming! LOL! Sorry . . . my theming days are over and if they weren't I would still only do tasks specifically related to Devuan not unrelated "wish-list" stuff.

Welcome!

Well done, zephyr! Congrats!!

I have added it to the beta staging branch.  You can see it here:
https://beta.devuan.org/os/devuan-distros

I'll let someone else move it to the published site.

Thanks again for your contribution! See you next time . . .

I have been looking through the Peppermint site and collected a few points to include with your listing which I hope aren't too far off the mark. Feel free to make corrections and/or suggestions. Should the calamares installer be mentioned?

"Peppermint OS Devuan comes with an xfce desktop and essential core packages needed to run a system out of the box. This gives users an opportunity to build a system that best fits their needs. The Devuan build offers 64 and 32 bit versions as well as a choice of SysVinit (default), Runit or OpenRC."

Thanks!

zapper . . . iirc I have corrected you before on the assumption that HoaS wrote that text. He did not. That post was edited and the original text replaced by an administrator. This was the complete edited post:

OMG! Welcome home, greenjeans!!! Not long ago fsmithred and I were wondering what had happened to you. Congrats on your new home and internet connection  . . .

I am not the best person to answer your questions but . . . I am still using MBR and grub on chimaera. Your setup sounds similar to mine and it is still working for Chimaera. I also always have multiple backups before I start messing with installations/upgrades. As to sucky memory . . . sounds familiar . . . LOL!
