I found several things that may help in future. Setting automatic TRIM job to daily https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c … d.html#ID6 and setting the browser (Firefox or Chrome) to use memory cache more and write cache less.

Question: What is the difference between Xevuan and standard Devuan using the option of XFCE as the desktop during install??

I tried others - WattOS, Lubuntu, Xubuntu... I am back to just Devuan (Miyo).

To larsH: If you wish to use xfce4-mixer on Beowulf... you would have to do as I did and manually install the dependencies - not easy...

...however some of the files that I listed may exist on your system from the initial installation. Afterwards - it works without issues.

Another option could be https://packages.debian.org/buster/volumeicon-alsa - systray volume icon for alsa

Here are drivers to help with USB Tethering - [link removed by admin]

I use Evolution over all the many years - I found it integrates well with both Devuan/Debian (also Ubuntu) and Google Calender/Contacts. As for Claws Mail and Thunderbird... I had to install so many addons and tweak settings to make it come close to what Evolution does. Evolution even has built-in contact management. FYI - Claws does NOT play well with Google Calendar (will not sync and will not import). I can add things from my Droid phone from on the road or workplace and know Evolution with sync up next time I fire it up. Granted - Evolution maybe too much for some people and it does use a little more resources that Claws or Thunderbird - but for me it is more than worth ut. I just install 3 or 4 files for Evolution vs 20 plus files for Claws Mail or Thunderbird with at-least 13 addons/extension from Mozilla addons website... among the extensions is "Lightning" to give Thunderbird ability to work with calendars. But then... do not take my word for it - fire up Synaptic package manager or install from terminal and see for yourself how many files you have to sudo apt-get install.

As for downloading FireFox ESR - https://debian.pkgs.org/8/debian-main-a … 4.deb.html

I suggest first update the kernel to better support the hardware and then...   https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/xse … .4.en.html

I am using PaleMoon without issue. To manually enable WebRTC:

    Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit Enter.
    Click the button "I accept the risk!".
    Type "media.peerconnection.enabled" in the search bar. Only one entry should appear.
    Right-click on the entry and choose "Toggle" to change the Value column to "true".

If you want to enable support for legacy extensions again, set the "extensions.legacy.enabled" preference to true in about:config page. Now all legacy extensions should start working again. Just ignore the messages about possible incompatible issues.

What extensions are you having trouble running in PaleMoon??
