Xshisen & Xpat2 - always install them.... smile

That's more like a database - sqlite would likely also be good for that sort of thing. smile

(I used to use sqlite, but found it an overkill for my usage though, that's why I reverted to a simple editor.) wink

But, we all have different ways of doing things, I guess....

#3 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Is there a Devuan derivative targeting old hardware/laptops? » 2026-02-18 09:55:58

Not only do I run Devuan/XFCE on my 'main' computer, (i3/8GB ram), but also on Dual Core with 4GB, it even runs quite happily on 2GB Dual Core Thin Clients that I have, I'm just a normal user, internet, music, videos, spreadsheet, etc. smile

#4 Re: DIY » I'm making a note-taking app » 2026-02-17 10:02:57

Lol, personally, I just use an editor, does everything I need to take notes... wink

#7 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] ext4 write slow on small 120gb sata SSD » 2026-02-13 18:12:14

I use a lot of 128GB SSD (ext4) on my computers/laptops, I don't find them to be slow, but I'm just a regular user; usual things, internet, music, videos, spreadsheet, etc.

Calamares installer?

MX Linux & antiX both use it, from memory, so should be easy enough to include.

#9 Re: Off-topic » XFCE is building a new WM and compositor for Wayland » 2026-02-05 18:17:42

As long as they keep X11 compatible & wayland compatible up to date, I have no worries....

I've been using wayland on my RPi without any adverse affect, so can't see any problems with this.

#10 Re: Devuan » Proposal "Devuan User Repository" » 2026-02-01 10:35:56

Please, people, calm down......

Let's not snipe at others, there is no benefit in doing that...

People will do what they can, if they are interested, not everyone can supply code, but there are other ways to help the project, & the fact that some people do, is a good sign that we have a strong community.

The suggested project doesn't interest me personally, but if it is feasible, why not give it a try.....

I appreciate what golinux has done, & is still doing for the Devuan community, especially by giving us this forum.....

"Keep calm & carry on" smile

#12 Re: Devuan » Proposal "Devuan User Repository" » 2026-01-31 09:38:57

Who is going to 'police' it?

Would need to be trust worthy.....

#13 Re: Off-topic » Microsoft and encrypted data » 2026-01-24 13:02:28

Why do people entrust their data to other people, back it up yourself, if really important give a copy to relatives to hold for you in case of fire/flood, etc. & update regularly. smile

#15 Re: Devuan » Devuan 6 Extremely Poor Quality Control. » 2026-01-23 10:10:58

Maybe just toggle Reader View if you don't want the toolbar on Firefox....

#16 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Linux Audio for the hard of hearing » 2026-01-20 17:34:50

Linux distros often only set speaker volume to 60~70%, as in days gone by, complaints were raised about the volume being set at 100% out of the box.

Two possible solutions, external speakers or headphones.

Also, as suggested, bluetooth speaker, the one that I bought for £14 off the internet is way too loud for me, if I don't adjust the volume down in Linux before pairing it to my computer.

#17 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Partitions » 2026-01-18 10:32:09

If you intend using the whole disk for Linux, I would start by giving it a new mbr or gpt partition designation, then try installing from your pendrive, to the whole disk.

#18 Re: Off-topic » Ken Thompson and Linux » 2026-01-05 10:26:11

Raspberry Pi SBCs can run Devuan &/or MX Linux, doesn't need to be using RaspiOS (systemd) on them..... big_smile

#20 Re: Off-topic » Happy New Year to all you Devuaners » 2026-01-02 18:27:57

.....& I thought we were the only ones to think that.... big_smile

#21 Re: Installation » Some Concerning Bugs » 2026-01-02 10:37:43

Ventoy has worked for me with Devuan, no problem. (Chimera, Daedelus, & Excalibur)+( I think also Jessie worked too)

#24 Re: Installation » Migration from Daedalus to Excalibur facing problems » 2025-12-27 17:45:32

I did
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install usrmerge
Then manually changed daedalus to excaliber in /etc/apt/sources.list
Then
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
That worked for me.

As I've said all along - it's just a big database - nothing special about it.
