FWIW Firefox-esr works fine on Debian Sid On SwayWM and Wayfire.

I have no idea if this is of any help or interest.
Go to the link below and install a current version of calibre. It may work better. https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
I, also, am willing to give it a 'spin'.
Here's a way to find fun, old weird books. "A Search Engine That Finds You Weird Old Books

Are there others out in the community using 5.19 liquorix with ceres, beyond me? If not, I am happy to report what I discover, should it be of interest.
24 hours in, things are working fine.
For those on a Debian/Devuan base who wish to install i3-gaps, perhaps the following guide will help with this non-repo based install (gaps is not in the Debian repos). I have found it most helpful: https://lottalinuxlinks.com/how-to-buil … on-debian/
Keeping multiple kernels is generally viewed as a wise safety net measure. If one kernel fails often another allows you to recover or fix the problem. Multiple kernels are allowed and not automatically removed on Debian, Devuan, MXLinux, arch, manjaro, antiX, Sparky among others.
Right now all I find is a 32bit version of Devuan on PepOS see: http://46.101.144.194/nightly/

I'm not sure AUR bashing has an awful lot to do with nala.... but that's probably just me.
@andyprough here's the deb file(s): https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/releases
If you are interested in finding a better (prettier?) looking (new) cli tool to perform most apt terminal functions Nala is worth a look. I have installed and run it successfully to perform my most common tasks successfully on PeppermintOS (Debian) and MXLinux (non-systemd Debian). Here's a link to the development site and software. Should you want to try it out....
@andyprough I think you may be correct.
Here is my current dwm.desktop Things just hang on boot attempt with tbsm. i3 & xfce work just fine. When I enable lightdm everything works fine. I feel really slow....
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=dwm
Comment=dynamic window manager
icon=dwm
Type=Application
Exec=/home/mark/.local/bin/autostart/dwm.sh
Terminal=false
Type=Application
I have it working for i3 & xfce @andyprough but because I start dwm via a script (my autostart functions) I have to find a way to point to the dwm bash script location.
Sounds like fun... I'll try it. I probably won't break anything much giving it a spin.
Thank you very much!
Edit: I use a dm because I have dwm, i3wm & xfce4 in the same user space.
Can anyone tell me how-to start "ly" using sysvint? I have no problem starting it using systemd however... sysvinit has me perplexed.
Here's a link to the relevant github.

Edit: I searched for an 'ly' service in sysv but did not find one.
TIA
No it seems to 'offer' (time will tell) a bit more fluid 'rolling approach'. From what little I have read, they have a number of repos stages (stable, test, unstable) with pinning involved. For example, yesterday I went a bit 'off the reservation' and installed 5.16rc as my kernel, all with just a minor tweak.
It is a nice distro and will be much better once Devuan is the base (IMHO). From what I understand they are already in the process of removing some of the systemd dependant 'stuff' from their distro (like snaps, etc...). btw. they are looking (on matrix.org) for experienced Devuan users to help with their testing, etc.
For those who care about such things...
A formerUbuntu distro is about to offer both Debian and soon Devuan based releases.
PeppermintOS is expanding and building on Devuan (no-systemd), as well.

The chimaera live does work... the remaining variable then must involve something in my .xsessionrc. I have included that below. Maybe something problematic obvious jumps out.

@Head_on_a_stick You got it.... Functioning Trash to me means when I setup Thunar I get the option to either move an item into Trash or Delete it (bypassing Trash). Right now on Devuan and MX (sysV init) I do NOT have the option to place items into Trash and delete them later. I can only Delete (now).
trash:/// is actually located at $Home/.local/share/Trash.
Whether or not I have 'functioning' trash, the folder exists on both (Devuan and MX). It only functions on systemd MX.
Later that same day in a city 'not far away'... I decided to try and see what happens with antiX21 (runit). It works just fine. Trash functions exactly as it should. Aside from my lack of skills and manually dexterity, I am left thinking the problem has to do with sysV init. I think gvfs does not like sysV.
I am left wondering.... "How many angels,ARE able to stand on the head of a pin?"
I installed the liveUSB for Devuan (chimaera) and then replaced the repos for chimaera with daedalus (testing). I then performed a full-upgrade. Nowhere along the line does Trash function for me on my machine unless I use systemd.
Interestingly when I use MX it does not have functioning trash (when booted usingsysv-init); identical with Devuan. However, MX when booted with systemd has normally functioning Trash. Debian also works just fine in it's systemd incarnation.
In all cases, the trash folder remains existent in my .local/share folder. On MX, a boot/ reboot between systemd- sysvinit on the same machine (minutes apart) has the trash folder appear/ disappear. FWIW. I, also, either loose or have the delete/trash maintenance options appear/disappear in accordance with the Trash folder. (Exists in systemd booted envirnment, not in the non-systemd incarnation.)
I tried the following file managers with the exact same results:
PCmanFM, nemo, nautilus...
It all makes me happier when using systemd.....
FWIW... I prefer "loose nut on the keyboard" to PEBKAC...
