Waiting for this part to be revised once some under-18 users complain (which they should)...

Some under 18 are more adult than many over 18.  IOW, maturity is not a number and hopefully those who come here will attempt to understand that.

I am on sid Devuan

Just to reduce confusion for new readers . . .

There is Debian sid.

There is no Devuan sid.

There IS Devuan ceres.

Devuan ceres identifies, works around some and blacklists other systemd dependencies in Debian sid.

Yeah, I saw that up top.  A bit too murky imo but at least marginally visible.  Thankfully not my problem . . .  big_smile

This was posted as being the watermark.  No peppermint candy there.  Just text on a dark background.  I do keep my brightness at 65% and contrast at 75% though . . .

I'm confused . . . maybe it's my old eyes . . . or maybe I don't understand what a watermark is . . . or maybe I need special xray glasses?

The table on this page might help to clarify things.

And how its can help?

You can find stuff.

. . . driver from sid and i use stable

You might be able to backport it to stable.  Don't ask me how.  That's beyond my skill-set.

#1135 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-03-19 15:19:53

No need to add Debian repo.  Devuan already has it!

Debian sid = Devuan ceres

#1136 Re: Devuan » Donation bombed » 2022-03-18 01:39:08

I think that zapper and andyprough should create their own forum where they can try to outdo each other's nonsense.  Please stop wasting Devuan resources on irrelevant babble.

I tried to make a small donation but the form wanted my phone number and that's something I would even give to mother Theresa :-)

I just investigated the options HERE and it seems that credit card donations are going through PayPal (yuck) and the the form does indeed ask for a phone number. Is that the option you tried?  I don't know if it's always been that way but I can ask the folks at dyne if they are aware it is set up that way.  That web page hasn't been changed in a long time. PayPal might have changed their procedure or someone would have probably mentioned it before.

This wouldn't work for you?

server (~670 MB): CD1 of a 4 CD set that allows for a complete off-line server/minimal installation. The remaining CDs offer several desktop choices and a limited selection of additional software.

    CD2: Xfce (installable from tasksel) and LXDE.
    CD3: MATE (installable from tasksel) and Openbox window manager.
    CD4: Cinnamon (installable from tasksel) but requires CD2 and CD3 to install.

Fair enough . . . smile I don't know how you find time to read so much or why you'd want to.  But that's another conversation . . .

You weren't around when Trust Us, We're Experts! was written.

Seems you are unaware of the consequences that can come from even an off-the-cuff attempt at humor like that.  But then, it is your life and your choice to squander it as you wish . . .  smile

Thank you Andy for those offerings. I'm sure they will bring comfort to many.

Here's a slightly different perspective and focus.  Monastics from the Abhayagiri Monastery chanting funeral texts that focus on the grinding realities of impermanence and cause and effect:
