I was just pointing out that some newbies might be put off as they were outdated...

MIYO and Star were a couple of the first to adopt Devuan, so they have some historical significance as they were there at the beginning of this amazing experience.

MIYO especially has meaning for a lot of folks, his thread in this section has over 380,000 views.

On a personal note, all of my projects from 2017-2025 have their start as re-spins of Miyolinux, I still have a copy of the original iso that really blew me away and set me to thinking even more outside the (Open) box. The philosophy of Make It Your Own still guides me to this day and I strive to make it easy for folks to do just that every time I sit down in front of the keyboard.

As I was unable to get system suspend to work with Daedalus (either with kde or xfce) despite several re-installations and it having worked under Chimaera I looked around and found that Peppermint is a distro which is based on either Debian or Devuan - your choice at installation. This seems a relatively recent development of Peppermint which was originally based on Ubuntu. This is called the 2023-07-01 version, which is obvioulsy its date.

It was a fairly smooth installation with a minimal set of packages, not even a browser, which suits me so I can choose things myself, but not beginner friendly.  On the first try it stuffed everything except swap into a single partition despite my defining separate root and home, but I wiped and re-installed and realised I'd missed a step the first time, one that was easy to miss. 

It was also a bit annoying that it does not allow you to set up a root account during installation, expecting you to do the "sudo says" nonsense. I set it up post installation.  I have never understood the point of the sudo method as it has little security and is a real nuisance if you need a long admin session, like I have been setting up my 15 disk partitions and other stuff. I suppose it is to remind you that you are doing something at admin level, but my root has a red bash prompt for that.

I am pleased to announce that my respin LinWiRepa with devuan 5 and xfce is available on the web:

www.linwirepa.260mb.org

You can download it and try it whenever you want. It is available to everyone.

I ask for your help to spread it and to make grow the devuan community in spanish, thanks to all of you for your collaboration.

Hello. Please, fix your web site, because when I try to enter your website, the firefox browser says that secure access is not possible. The browser prompts you to go to a website that uses the http protocol. Which is not good from a security point of view

If I had to guess...

But yeah, it is inappropriate.

Although, I have seen that wallpaper in devuan before... so idk. Unless I am wrong in which case correct me.

I am very well aware that you didn't mean that credit card company. This is a linux forum.
