I've modified rc-local.sh to not look for other scripts and put commands for ufw in rc.local. It's not clean solution but it works for now.

/etc/dinit.d/scripts contains some artifacts like

cat rc.local
#!/usr/bin/sh

with regular user permissions. Almost all scripts in this folder have regular user permissions. I did not create them, strange

bluetooth is strated

but I've no bluetooth: no icon for it, no bluetooth in KDE settings.

Configure Timeshift to take one snapshot per week. I have not had any problems after updates.

I've reinstalled MXD again and had no issue with today' s update.

I've few questions about MXD and dinit (I'm new in dinit)

1. The distro has no doas preinstalled but I see preconfigured doas.conf in /etc/

2. I created ufw in /etc/dinit.d:

type         = scripted
command      = /usr/sbin/ufw enable
stop-command = /usr/sbin/ufw disable
restart      = false

and not sure if I need depends-on, before, logfile? Also the service strarts but ufw is not enabled after reboot.

3. Service rc-local was in place already:

type = scripted
command = /usr/bin/sh /etc/dinit.d/scripts/rc-local.sh start
stop-command = /usr/bin/sh /etc/dinit.d/scripts/rc-local.sh stop
depends-on = login.target

it' s enabled and started but rc.local is ignored. What can be wrong?

4. It seems that bluetooth is installed:

but I don' t see any traces of bluetooth to set it up.

The installer works as expected when I use a Ventoy flash drive. The aforementioned strange behavior only occurs when booting the Live system from this second SSD using Ventoy. In such cases, I see all partitions on the first drive and only Ventoy-related partitions on the second. As a result, I am unable to install the distribution to the second drive.

SysV init 3–16 was released, but the real debate is about mandatory ass fingerprints in Linux.

Anyway, the kid rapist will keep their policy—nobody dares stop them. The FBI says it’s impossible to arrest them because it’d destroy political stability. As for "regular" UID1000 users? They’re just slaves and love their masters.

The become-ageless.sh script allows any already installed Debian system to be converted into Ageless Linux. The script replaces the /etc/os-release file and includes information about non-compliance with age verification laws (COMPLIANCE_STATUS="refused", API_STATUS="refused", VERIFICATION_STATUS="flagrantly noncompliant"). It also adds a /etc/ageless/ directory containing reports on violated laws, as well as implements a prototype of a dummy API for applications to obtain user age information.

Enjoy

the keyword is "Ceres"

I've an impression that openrc scripts are simplier than runit scripts (I don't have experience with runit). One more advantage of openrc is that pipewire can be launched as user services and audio switchs automatically when hardware is changed.

Devuan is my main OS. There is also MX inux as second or fallback OS.
My addiitonal laptop for mobility is not doing well with old software, so I've to use Artix. Artix is almost great but it's not consistent. I mean you can get new kernel wich is not fully compatible with firmware during update, or DE can be updated and then I've inconsistency between it and something else.
As conclusion I've to say that arch based systemd free distributions can be the best fom the best if they take care of consistency. Until that  moment #that will never happen# Devuan is the best.

Can't say much about Void (it's probably better while being limited in terms of software) but Artix is definitely less stable than Ceres.

I suppose the keyword is "had" no "has". Now the only way to get FDE with refracta-installer is to chroot and to repair. Yes, it HAD, I've used it those times, but it's over.
