#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Can I use Debian multimedia? » 2023-09-09 04:03:52

Hello All,

Finding this thread saved me from having to ask my questions about "deb-multimedia.org" from scratch!
I've used Christian's repository for years with Debian with no issues to speak of.
I'm converting from Debian to Devuan primarily to get rid of systemd, Red Hat, IBM, and their Corporate
M$ wannabe Lock-In!  The concept that Red Hat  / IBM wants to be the future M$ of this world is not
real encouraging, just consider what mammoth corporations have wrought upon society up till now!
I do want to say thanks to everyone who has participated with all their experiences, and suggestions on this topic!  ;^)

Oh yeah, I'm also New here, but am an experienced sysadmin and software developer (retired) with experience
going back to the late 1980's, with some AT&T, SunOS, and along into the BSD's and Linux. I'd really like to see
if I can eventually be of service to the Devuan Project in whatever capacity, perhaps as a package maintainer, et al.
I've really appreciated the fact that Linux has pretty much been on the cutting edge of driver development, with all the
weird wifi chipsets, et al. When Debian voted to go with systemd I new the writing was on the wall! I was so... disappointed,
as I'm certain Many Others were too, hence Devuan! Right now I''m converting over a small four node home network to
Devuan, and enjoying every minute of it!

Thanks again for all the input on this topic!
