Indeed, I know the De**an philosophy is to keep safe and sound versions..The very last one is more likely to have bugs. Nevertheless, there are previous tested versions that could be used. I have a laptop with Debian and a netbook with antiX.

IMHO something that Debian has failed is to offer some better versions for some packages. Yes, stability is absolutely important, but Devuan could do better in this sense. Packages like Libreoffice and Firefox have some tested versions, different from the last ("testing") launched, that can be used instead of a very old "stable" or supposedly having long term support ones.
Thanks.
Cheers!
