These days, when adding drives to a system, (in /etc/fstab), it is best to use their UUID, as drives get their /dev/sd(?) as they are found on the system, not by what disk they actually are.
Before manually mounting a disk, plug it in, then run
sudo dmesg | tailto find out what the system has designated it as, then you mount it to a directory, often just use /mnt.

Because there are 32bit systems still available.....so those old computers are still usable/useful, even if a bit slow....not everyone expects instant website access.

32bit systems are still supported by the BSDs & Haiku, so they don't need to be thrown out just yet......
Whilst I had been a long time Debian user, (since 1999), I went over to Devuan, to get away from systemd & the like, & will, (if I need to), go over to BSD full time, if it (systemd) becomes the 'Linux way'.

I found it easy to use, though I did run it as the root user from the command line, it then opens up into a graphical installer, which I think is pretty straight forward to use.

Welcome aboard.
Devuan is what Debian was - giving back freedom to the user.

Alternative to middle wheel pasting is both left & right buttons together....
#107 Re: News & Announcements » And here we are ... » 2023-12-13 09:47:49
It's OK....I've been practicing with the BSDs for this very scenario......
If 'Linux' does disappear down this route, at least I'm ready....

Welcome aboard.......Devuan is Debian without systemd.

@ zephyr
My apologies, I thought that I remembered you & Miyo discussing how to do some things on here...
#111 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Upcoming browser changes » 2023-12-06 10:25:44
I could never get on with Chrome/Chromium, so have always used Firefox, occasionally Dillo, & have tried to use text browsers too, the internet has become an advertising space for corporations, far removed from its original purpose...
I stopped using Youtube when forced to watch adverts, & only returned to it when we could block them - so if everyone did so, they'd soon lose all their revenues..

@ Ron
Check out Crowz, (partially created with help from MIYO), it's a neat little system.

I just wish someone/distros would revive TinyX.......

Weak processor + minimal DE
Wyse Dx0Q 1.5GHz Quad Core AMD GX-415GA Radeon HD8330E graphics
Slow, but I still use XFCE & FF on it....
#117 Re: Devuan » Making Devuan widely use » 2023-11-23 10:36:25
If you want it to look like Mint, just use Mint.....
Devuan has its own look & feel....
But, you can modify it if you want, that's what Linux is all about.
#118 Re: Installation » Minimum disk space for newinstall ? » 2023-11-20 14:31:27
3.2GB installed Daedalus/XFCE.
It's not a disk hog like MSWindows.....

#120 Re: Documentation » HOWTO: JWM Basic Configuration » 2023-11-17 10:29:48
Apart from adding to the menu, I find JWM to be an ideal WM, just move the panel to the top of the screen.

are you happy with all the old and new wm's for simple small distros?
Yes, I am.
#122 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan Daedalus apt install problem » 2023-11-12 12:47:58
I use apt-get & it's working on my Daedelus installs from the live XFCE & from Crowz....
Did you use sudo? Did you update first?
#123 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How to start desktop on Raspberry Pi3? » 2023-11-11 18:04:04
If 'startx' doesn't work, you need to install xorg & a WM/DE.
(It's been a while since I last installed it to a RPi....)
#124 Re: DIY » So I guess there's no getting around having to use GTK3 and Wayland? » 2023-11-08 10:36:43
Well......we still have an unadulterated command line available - perhaps we will have to just go back to using that!
#125 Re: Devuan » Debian Farm? » 2023-11-08 10:29:00
They tried that before, & lost a lot of their programmers, & users, & created a lot of bad blood!
Haven't they learned their lesson yet! - Linux is about freedom of choice!
Thankfully, it caused Devuan to be born in the first instance, if they do it again, many users will (possibly) ditch Devuan as well, if it isn't an easy job to continue using Debian as a base!
