I have to agree it probably is...

#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » GTK2 Revival thread » 2026-04-21 19:06:24

If I run into any when using it.

But I tend not to use gtk2 as much on my devuan install, except maybe for palemoon.

For whatever reason, I used to not have this problem, but now every time I suspend for a certain length, probably an hour or more...

I can no longer press power or function key to get it to come back online on my T480.

I end up having to shut down the computer by force. Really... really annoying.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

I am 100% stumped.

I wonder if this is a libreboot issue or a T480 issue.

My guess is probably the first, but I don't know what specifically would cause this.

@golinux actually redhat also kills freedom. They are where the biggest bs comes from.

wayland, systemd, dbus, avahi, elogind, pulseaudio, pipewire, network-manager and probably others too.

I detest corporations especially redhat.

I am sure most people here, including myself use corporate hardware, but there is no reason to use corporate software when you don't need to.

@ralph.ronnquist it is kind of like preaching to the choir...

#6 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-04-16 03:35:01

@Elyon hopefully not... I refuse to eat shit.

#7 Re: Off-topic » Something X11ish for you all to look at. » 2026-03-30 04:44:36

@brocashelm

I made an issue on xlibre anyhow since I posted this for xlibre to add unveil & pledge functions to xlibre like xenocara has but with linux.

We will see how that goes I guess.

But yeah, point being, you might have a point.

EDIT accidentally clicked solved, but w/e it doesn't matter too much.

#8 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-03-28 01:44:55

@slonik good to know, I won't recommend CachyOS to anyone now.

This law will likely make kids more targetted not less.

Screw Zuckerberg for this and anyone who supports his bs.

#9 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2026-03-18 02:39:07

Still using Hyperbola on some of my comps and Devuan on my gaming one

#10 Re: DIY » SHED init independient/agnostic user services » 2026-03-10 21:27:16

@EDX-0

My bad, I was unaware  that it didn't require elogind.

By xession manager what do you mean?

like lxsession? or xlibre/xorg/etc...

Curious

#11 Re: DIY » SHED init independient/agnostic user services » 2026-03-07 04:39:45

@EDX-0 I would recommend using as few bloated linux frameworks as possible if you want to make this a good init.

But if this is just an experiment/just to learn something, then ignore this comment.

What I meant though is elogind is one of those bloated frameworks.

Runit  is also are both lighter on annoying depends.  I don't know yet though how much regarding dinit though.  Haven't really used it.

#12 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] DNS stopped working on Devuan Ceres » 2026-03-02 00:29:16

@Devarch fair enough about artix. I was unaware about this.

#13 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] DNS stopped working on Devuan Ceres » 2026-02-28 16:46:24

@abower I would trust testing LONG before I trusted unstable tongue

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] DNS stopped working on Devuan Ceres » 2026-02-28 13:39:11

Bold of you to use Ceres, the one time I tried it, I ran into LOTS of issues.

I learned my lesson lol.

Honestly if you want to do a rolling release os there are better options out there then devuan.

Voidlinux & artixlinux both fit that bill.

But yeah, I second what golinux said. That is what unstable does.

Surprised you haven't had more hiccups.

#15 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Is there a Devuan derivative targeting old hardware/laptops? » 2026-02-24 08:17:55

@Babarosa I wonder if palemoon would work on that device. I am sure firefox would be too heavy though. And obviously use ublock origin legacy from their addons.

#16 Re: Devuan » Devuan without elogind » 2026-02-22 09:16:26

@steve_v some of its good qualities exist in init programs like s6 or dinit.

I have in fact heard that was a purpose for s6, to do systemd on a lightweight level.

#17 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Is there a Devuan derivative targeting old hardware/laptops? » 2026-02-22 08:15:41

@trinidad who would want a headache waiting to happen?

That's what wayland is...

#18 Re: Devuan » Devuan without elogind » 2026-02-22 08:12:53

Still better to have a piece of systemd as a dependency then the whole damn thing.

I think most on here would agree with that.

#19 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2026-02-22 08:11:07

And as previously stated, @brocashelm,  palemoon can build without d-bus. I have done it many times big_smile

JWM is especially lightweight on cpu usage. So you missed one window manager. i3-wm and dwm are also light, but they are much more minimal and have less functionality then JWM.

JWM, has the bare minimum I need for it to work on par with DEs but while still using very little resources. big_smile

You really don't need much to run jwm.

I bet it could run on less cpu power than almost every other window manager with a taskbar.

#20 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2026-02-21 10:11:18

@greenjeans does keepassxc minimal still require dbus?

#21 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 08:27:07

@brocashelm palemoon is buildable without dbus just so you know. I have done it many times before.

Yup.

Not sure about firefox and similar though.

#22 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 08:24:49

@greenjeans When I bring up intelligence, i am also talking about if they have common sense, so nice try. tongue

Point being, common sense is lacking in USA.  Otherwise certain people wouldn't have power. right now or since 2016.

#23 Re: Freedom Hacks » UDisks2: Security Considerations » 2026-02-14 01:55:05

@greenjeans not everyone is that intelligent. In usa, I heard recently that half of the public has a fifth grade education... just insane.

If true, this is why security considerations are so important to the vast majority of people I think.

As for udisks, dbus and other redhat garbage, there is a HUGE reason that Hyperbola ditches so much of that crap.

Overengineered crap makes lots of vulnerabilities and really bad ones at that.

This is one of those times I think, good. I am glad Hyperbola ditched this crap in plain english.

#24 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-14 01:46:46

@greenjeans hmmm I didn't even realize lol.

Welp, w/e.

tongue

#25 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2026-02-13 04:29:09

@greenjeans you made the 69th comment, congrats tongue

But yeah, I don't know what else to say beyond that for now.
