#1 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2026-03-21 16:40:14
@goliniux ... Thanks! I have experienced some challenges with Devuan but was able to overcome them, sometimes with help. Currently using Excalibur, LXQt, Xlibre, with NVIDIA drivers (yuck, but I play games sometimes), on a Dell 9510 XPS. Working Great!
I really appreciate the Welcome.

Hopefully this is the correct group, sorry if it's not.
To the Devuan team: After testing and using Devuan (daedalus to Excalibur), I made a small $100 (BTC) donation to Devuan. I know it isn't much but as time goes on I will continue to donate. I am no developer or coder, just basically a Linux Enthusiast Superuser....... humble little ol' me. It was my thanks for y'all doing such a great job and having a decent stance on Freedom, keeping the politics out, and just focusing on good software. Like the good ol' Linux days. I have been a Linux user since 2004 and have supported other Distros, like Linux Mint, MX, and Mepis. It's now Devuan's turn, and I feel it's going to be a long relationship. 
Thanks again Devuan Team!

@Calamity @greenjeans I was LONG time XFCE user until their latest announcement. I have the same feeling that greenjeans mentioned above, so I moved to LXQt and Openbox. So far I am happy with LXQt, but what a shame the way XFCE went. It was going down hill for a while but this was the last straw.

Thanks Devuan Team, and congrats! I upgraded to Excalibur on the 3rd (11/3/25) right after the announcement. The upgrade was smooth and I had ZERO issues. It has been working great so far and is stable! I will be making another donation to Devuan for all your hard work. I really appreciate the team's dedication to this project!
#5 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-08-25 14:43:52
@callmetango Well. I installed XLibre on my tester a Dell Precision 5510 with NVIDIA Quadro M1000M and all went well, very well. I even installed the NVIDIA drivers and tested a game using Stream and all appears to be working ok. I will continue testing but so far so good! Tell the team Big Thanks!
My main system is a Dell G15 5530 with an NVIDIA RTX 4060. When I get a chance I will test it out it as well.
Update: I am running Devuan Daedalus 5.0 and have tested both kernels 6.1.0-38-amd64 and 6.7.12-1-liquorix-amd64, with and without NVIDIA drivers. All OK, so far. No issues but I will continue to test and run the system the next few days. This is on the Dell 5510.

@callmetango Thanks for the Xlibre repository info! I will give it a shot tomorrow on my testing PC! Looking forward to it.
#7 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] liquorix kernel on excalibur » 2025-08-18 00:20:05
I am currently running Daedalus with Liquorix Kernel 6.7.12-1-liquorix-amd64. I was running the same kernel on MX before moving to Devuan..... I am new to Devuan. I had issues with some of the standard kernels locking up after installing the NVIDIA drivers (I know, yuck, NVIDIA, haha) I have Dell G15 5530, basically a poor mans Alienware but it works great. I downloaded the deb files (image and headers) and installed them with apt. I want to try Excalibur but first I want to be sure stable Devuan works before getting to ambitious. If I have any luck with Liquorix and Excalibur in the future I'll let you know.
