I think package name must say everything without having to tweak the package manager, or it must be called a meta-package. My grub can run two distros so it is no tied to a particular display manager. This is not about minimalism, I lack Linux skills to build a distro from minimal install. Tiling window managers is just efficient and time saver. If a distro provides a clean bspwm out of the box with lightdm I'd never touch these stuff.

But your opinion is fine, it is just a different philosophy.

I advise to use this option everytime. Stupid people like me read "apt install lightdm" so I expect lightdm to be installed, period, and not the full graphical stack. There is even a "systemd" recommended package in some package, I don't remember the name sorry.
The Devuan people are nice and helpful, but I have to install a sane distro.
Its sad, Debian seems to be the only distro that aims to be stable, but they stupidly break stuff with their insane packages. All my Guix packages was broken by lightdm additional bloat. I used several flavours of Arch and this thing never happened. Sorry for the rant.

Hello. I installed a minimal Devuan to get bspwm, then I installed Lightdm using apt.
After the restart the Grub screen has changed. It looks better but it is unexpected.
Questions:
Is it a behaviour from Devuan or from Debian ?
Is there some relation between Grub and Lightdm that required a Grub update or is it just a bloated package ?

Hello, I set the android usb mode to file transfer on the phone popup. libmtp-common is also installed. Neither spacefm or lsblk see the device.

But I was surprised by the Godot engine editor since it is able to detect the device and I even exported an runned a game from the PC.

Some info:

OS: Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera) x86_64
Host: 20BECTO1WW ThinkPad T540p
Kernel: 5.10.0-16-amd64
Uptime: 46 mins
Packages: 835 (dpkg), 16 (guix-user)
Shell: bash 5.1.8
Resolution: 1920x1080
WM: bspwm
Theme: Graphite-dark [GTK2/3]
Icons: Tela [GTK2/3]
Terminal: alacritty
CPU: Intel i5-4210M (4) @ 3.200GHz
GPU: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor

I forgot another info: the init system is runit.

I have no idea about what happens. Advices are welcome.
