a) Grow up, and realise that this is not Arch, it's a stable, general purpose distribution under no obligation whatsoever to embrace the newest shiny thing or cater to your peculiar tastes.
b) Post your commands and any "bunch of cryotic[sic] errors" encountered, verbatim and without shouting. Assuming you actually want assistance that is.
Actually there is one other option for him, run devuan testing or devuan unstable. The latter sounds really dumb tho

The answer to your title is a resounding yes.

pcalvert alas, BTRFS has bad effects on SSD drives.
#56 Re: Installation » Brave browser, OnlyOffice and FreeOffice » 2025-12-25 04:10:17
@jptiran freeoffice is not even open source just to warn you. However, onlyoffice has an open source variant.
I would recommend the 2nd if you can't use openoffice or libreoffice.

@pcalvert I am not sure how that works , but thanks for the info

@golinux you mean its not the fault of devuan developers. Debian ones... Idk.
#59 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] Question, about immutable distros » 2025-12-18 04:26:17
@ralph I have more or less determined that I will use a non immutable, just because i looked into it and there's too many issues to resolve.
The reason I had interest btw, is because the concept of secure rollbacks if something didn't update correctly.

@matlib I wonder how you set that up though... Especially with FDE
#61 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] Question, about immutable distros » 2025-12-08 20:22:51
I considered Nitrux actually and when i mean immutable, I mean the system is read only as to make it harder to hack lol.
Nitrux is based on debian but uses openrc.

It makes the system read-only until reboot I hear.
Does this mean that you cannot compile stuff and then do make install onto your system even with sudo or doas?
I found one based on debian that uses openrc hence my curiosity.

@blackhole, pretty sure if they below 5, they are mostly irrelevant, but if they above 7 they are a huge problem hence why I asked the severity of the vulnerabilities.
Although, I suppose their stability method could also have security problems.
#64 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-12-04 06:23:55
It doesn't sound much different than gnewsense though in my opinion. Yet the FSF wasn't telling them to change trademarks.
I guess because the name itself looks different even if they sound very similar when spoken out loud.
#65 Re: Off-topic » Trying to explain what happened with Cloudflare? » 2025-12-04 06:12:17
blackhole what is the severity of those bugs though... how high are they rated? like 1-10
I meant debian because its known for stability. Not the security aspect lol.

Actually, I think my file manager is having a glitch or something because everywhere else indicates it has been raised to the correct amount of memory.
EDIT: Maybe its not the file manager, because I tried doing lvextend -l +100%FREE to my volume and it acted like it had the old amount of storage... very weird.
Very peculiar indeed...
/dev/volume/home seems to have 1.79TB (lsblk command)
but home folder only has 443GB when I check it with lvextend +100%FREE (spacefm)
Very peculiar...
EDIT FIGURED IT OUT!
resize2fs /dev/myvolume/home was the final touch.
cfdisk /dev/sda in live image or w/e
partprobe
lvextend -L +100%FREE /dev/mapper/matrix-home
#####must be in devuan after gparted unlocks luks (did so via usb persistent install)
resize2fs /dev/matrix/home
That's how I did it. SOLVED.
#67 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] resizing after a diskclone to recover reclaimed space » 2025-12-02 13:47:06
@ralph
Fair enough, but would showing you vgdisplay, pvdisplay, help
EDIT: I figured out the next step,
had to do this:
lvextend -L +100%FREE /dev/mapper/matrix-home
with gparted disabling luks encryption temporarily
Now I need to go from there.
its now in the physical volume but not yet the virtual volume, etc...
EDIT ONE MORE:
It still doesn't show in my file manager or home the change. yet.

@ralph not even close to the truth, I don't know why you said that
#70 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] resizing after a diskclone to recover reclaimed space » 2025-12-02 13:17:48
@ralph more or less it didn't work I mean.
Funny thing is, I did this long ago and got it to work. I forget the guide I found though.
Its online somewhere, but... I can't find it easily.
#71 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] resizing after a diskclone to recover reclaimed space » 2025-12-02 12:53:56
@ralph Hmm not working...
@Vert yes I did clone a smaller to a bigger. I forget if e2fsck, partimage, partclone or something else is needed

I have done the following:
cfdisk /dev/sda in live image or w/e
partprobe
and now my lvmvg matches the luks volume size.
However, I am trying to rezize my home partition volume and it keeps saying stuff like there is nothing to add.
I have 476.6G of 1.8 TB being used currently used, so I know there is something wrong
Can someone help me out here?
CLI instructions required btw.

aitor, you working on Excalibur? Just wondering when that version coming out.
#74 Re: DIY » usb controllers and qemu » 2025-11-28 07:02:09
If your Hyperbola uses udev then it should work the same.
And by the way, the group doesn't have to be "plugdev"; that's just a (has been) convention. The key point is that due to that udev rule, the device node at /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy gets set up so that any user in that group have read-write access to it.
So I could put group wheel there as well or something else entirely huh. Sounds good. I would probably try kvm then.
#75 Re: Off-topic » Trying to explain what happened with Cloudflare? » 2025-11-28 01:50:03
One line of code caused all that?
I thought the web was built more like debian, not archlinux LOL.
I once made one tiny mistake in mkinitcpio.conf in Hyperbola and it wouldn't boot it dropped me to a shell.
The issue?
I didn't remove the parentheses from the i915 line
And therefore, I kept getting it borked every time I tried. lol.
This feels like that kind of situation.
