Good afternoon. I'm sorry you encountered the same problem as me. Unfortunately, I still didn’t understand what to do with this problem, so I simply reinstalled Devuan, but during the installation I chose XFCE rather than Gnome. It's much better than Gnome and everything works in it

I decided to move to Chimaera, everything works just perfect with manual setup Xorg and Gnome.

In fact they can. https://grsecurity.net/respectre_announce.php

Respectre™ is a nod to the Spectre speculation attack and signifies that it (re)veals potential Spectre vulnerabilities, (re)spects the original intent of the code, and automatically (re)factors it via a compiler plugin to eliminate speculation-based side channels.

The point is how to get it, when they even do not answer emails.

Best regards.

Hi everyone! May be not the right thread, but does anybody know where is the info regarding Devuan kernel rebuilding how-to? Can't find anywhere.
