i saw that github issue but i thought no one managed to use those scripts, good to know.
going to test it on a vm and share results here.

I'll go with ext4 and openrc (tailscale still has issues with sysv)
for desktop i downloaded 4G desktop iso to mess around with cinnamon and others.
docker and xlibre are well documented too.

Thank you guys, couldn't make decision without you and a lot of other solved posts on the forum.

So just a default installation would be good to go.
I forgot about cinnamon, that might be more feature rich
thanks to mention it.

i am exploring forum actually, biggest question for me is still which init should i pick, for example i saw some posts on using tailscale and it look likes openrc maybe has a better support for this kinda not supported stuff. i know i am overthinking this...

Hi everybody,

I've decided to move out of my comfort zone because corporate Linux dramas reached a level I can't take anymore!
I read about multiple options without systemd, and decided to go with Devuan (mostly because of the chill and welcoming community).

Long story short:

- As a I am new here, what init system do you recommend? I saw dinit is super fast, but it's not available here.
- I think going with Xfce + xlibre would be nice, but I'm open to recommendations for other setups that might work better for a former GNOME user.
- Is there any benefit to using btrfs here, or should I just stick with ext4?

Finally,
I was using podman and podman quadlets a lot. I know quadlet can't be used anymore, so do you recommend Docker?

Thanks for sharing your experience.
