With all that needs to be done, changing the wallpaper is definitely not on the to TODO list.

Not trying to diminish in any way the tremendous work done by you guys but after a lifetime in marketing it's no surprise to me that most of the successful distros such as Manjaro, EndeavourOS, MX, Mint etc all have big choices of wallpaper. We all know users can be very fickle but the one thing many of them feel a need for is to demonstrate loyalty to their chosen distro by displaying a dedicated wallpaper on their desktop. If there's any objective to increase the user base for Devuan then IMO more wallpaper choices should be a priority.

I installed Chimaera + KDE using the net iso last week onto a Dell OptiPlex without any issues whatsoever. The only additions I had to make were two manually installed dependencies for the Slack desktop. Surely this can’t be right especially for an alpha status product? Why can’t I have a black screen at boot, the panel disappearing, programs refusing to launch or better still the whole system wiped out after an update?

Not to be deterred I then installed using the same method onto my Dell Vostro which has multiple drives including a Kingston M.2 NVMe. I thought this is bound to break something and I tried to help it by installing themes and programs at the same time while transferring large amounts of data between the drives. Nothing. So there it is. I’m now stuck with two boring Linux installations and all they do is work. Just no fun at all.
