Good morning everyone, I have proceeded according to instructions. However, problems have arisen that I have not seen through. The graphical interfaces did not work properly. Lxqt and plasma was not usable. I might have been able to fix it with a lot of time, but had doubts that I could do it cleanly. My skills probably don't extend that far. So I decided to do a fresh install. I have only taken over /home.
Best regards from my new Devuan Daedalus machine.

PS: Devuan Daedalus works well on my Thinkpad and I'm happy to have landed with Devuan Daedalus for my desktop now.

Bookworm to Daedalus should be similar to the migration of Bullseye to Chimaera.
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … o-chimaera

Here's a script to do it for you or look at the code for clues about what issues might come up. This script has probably had very little testing with bookworm/daedalus, but it was modified from bullseye/daedalus.

Basic Daedalus sources.list

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main

You could also look at some discussions on this forum about migrating from bullseye to chimaera. There are a few different approaches, and they don't all work for everyone.

[SOLVED] Bookworm -> Daedalus

Hello each other,
Is there any way to switch from Debian Bookworm (stable) to Devuan Daedalus (soon stable)?
I have a Daedalus-sources.list from my Thinkpad, I could probably use that as a base. I would have to install the init system of course and eliminate systemd. Does anyone have a tip for me?
