Is It safe to use linux libre on devuan ascii or devuan jessie?

https://jxself.org/linux-libre/

is where I would download the linux libre kernel.

It works on trisquel and debian so I wondered if it works on devuan as well...

Discussion here: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=606  Why not download from here https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/  ?  Be careful with third party repos . . .

The repo I mentioned works with devuan also. so its of no issue what I mentioned. wink

I am now running on that kernel.

(Don't all those links lead to the same repo?)
Would the latest of each LTS series make excellent starting points in searching for hardware?

Not quite there are other repos. I use jxself.org because it is good for debian based ones, including devuan and trisquel.

personally I would love to see trisquel have no systemd just like devuan  (trisquel 8 is based off of ubuntu 16.04 which has systemd.)

So I guess the better way to put it is, to remain systemd-free.
