#2 Re: Devuan » Why not use runit? Do you guys use runit? » Yesterday 11:17:03

Kinda like da way that OpenRC is, I just use that

The harsh reality is that if you're just a desktop user, and not a server admin, you may see no benefits from something like runit, where the main focus is service supervision, except for perhaps slightly faster boot times.

I just use on desktop then would be no difference anyway I guess

#3 Re: Off-topic » HexChat's GTK3 Successor: ZoiteChat » Yesterday 11:10:29

Zoitechat on stable backports, then noice

#4 Re: Installation » Ceres upgrade to kernel 7.0.3 error NVIDIA driver » 2026-05-06 22:07:59

Then would be a bit better using older kernel versions (I saw changelog and it seems staying on 6.19 works I guess), and I'm also waiting for nvidia to update with backports for their drivers on Debian repos... I hope it's soon... the usual pain with nvidia

#5 Re: Installation » LXQt cant install at Ceres » 2026-05-02 09:46:12

How then as you can see i cant reinstall anything?
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=60721#p60721

It does seem you reinstalled by "apt remove" then "apt install" it's expected because of dependency tree is expected these issues is kinda common, it's better to use "apt reinstall" and check dependencies before using "apt remove" exactly, will always give you these headaches, try use Testing instead and you can have a better time

#6 Re: Off-topic » GTK2 Removed from Arch's Repositories » 2026-04-20 10:41:22

One blocker towards finishing this transition is that the graphical
Debian Installer still uses gtk2.

Kek, there is anything that we gain to change this to gtk3?

As mentioned in our 2020 MBF [4], besides being unmaintained for years,
GTK 2 does not support either HiDPI or native Wayland.

This excuse is da usual

#7 Re: Off-topic » Youtube videos 'not available' » 2026-04-06 10:19:27

The first five days, it was kinda common, open a channel and "no videos here lmao" was quite funny, only way to watch in a stable way for me was to use a VPN yeah

#10 Re: Off-topic » GTK2 Removed from Arch's Repositories » 2025-12-31 14:55:31

And how this affects Devuan? idk when Debian is going to deprecate GTK2 too

#11 Re: Off-topic » AI in Firefox or Waterfox » 2025-12-31 14:42:03

Would Waterfox be preferable in this regard to Librewolf?

One of the top comments lol

Yeah, kinda a bit better, Librewolf too much of a hassle and Waterfox works better

#15 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2025-04-15 09:47:50

Oh my! The sky is falling!

It's already over kekw

#16 Re: Devuan » Omg wayland on gnome works now! » 2025-03-14 14:46:23

I am trying wayland a bit on Plasma 6.3 and it seems to be working really well now and I am using on AMD
I had some issues on 6.2 and before, anything running as fullscreen would simply crash entirely

#17 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2025-02-21 20:04:30

Iron Maiden - Book Of Souls (2015)

#19 Re: Off-topic » Why cloud dependency and push updates is a bad thing » 2024-07-22 15:10:10

cloud = someone else's drive

Brings to mind the Kim Dotcom raid when so many legitimate users around the world lost their life's work. Don't know how many bought into that hype and currently use big tech's drives.

Wonder how many cloud users, and those update devs, see the relevancy of Franklin's quote on safety.

And now it's over, billions are using big tech clouds and somebody was able to boot linux from google drive lol

#20 Re: Devuan » Debian looking to integrate systemd-boot » 2024-06-08 13:00:09

Oh boy...

I was totally convinced that Debian was interested in keeping alive the legacy of a non-systemd distribution, this is something that a Devuan folk wrote me on this very forum, not in my terms but there were some collaboration and contribution upstream to make the work on Devuan easier and simultaneously allowing Debian to change init effortlessly.

Dreams vs Reality: 0 - 10 👊

ouch... 🤕

It's just status quo by the part of Debian, they are going to focus on systemd but they still keeps "legacy" sysv packages if people are willing to maintain, It's different from Arch and Fedora that they made it clear that they only support systemd and now on 254-256 they are hurrying to deprecate and eliminate any sysv legacy

And for me all this systemd-boot is unnecessary, grub works well and all this unnecessary mess upstream to push systemd-boot? idk... waiting to see if it works outside of systemd or Devuan will just ban as well this package

#21 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Daedalus. Can i switch from openrc to runit without reinstall os? » 2024-05-02 13:58:06

Please, next time, report bug like this! Nobody reports = nobody fixes.
It's now fixed in unstable/openrc 0.54-2
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1070167

Thanks with the bug report and updated here

#22 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Daedalus. Can i switch from openrc to runit without reinstall os? » 2024-04-30 22:02:14

A file that is not executable on /etc/init.d/ breaks openrc installation for some reason, needs to make executable first or move to another directory

#23 Re: Devuan » the next stable » 2024-04-30 21:54:11

DevuanGPT when?

bilhook mixing english and greek was hilarious

#24 Re: Devuan » the next stable » 2024-04-30 14:40:27

Kinda true, if the submarine and goes so deep and becomes stable, can make climate change even worse
