Steve's Old Computer Museum!

Early personal computers were nothing like present day computers - they had personality!
Each was different and more exciting than the previous, with new features and capabilities.

Well, here is some Devuan trivia that's not so trivial.  The Devuan Board of Trustees has 3 members who are involved with computer preservation! 

Gabriele “Asbesto” Zaverio (MusIF) :: director, “Museo dell’Informatica Funzionante” computer museum

Emiliano Russo (MIAI) :: director, “Museo Interattivo di Archeologia Informatica” computer museum

Stefania Calcagno (ESOCOP) :: president, European Society for Computer Preservation

You can find that info on our website at https://www.devuan.org/os/team

Bet you guys didn't know before now that my Commodore 64 was the highest selling computer system ever. I wonder how many of those original 17 million systems are now running Beowulf like mine? Must be at least 5 million machines, I'm thinking.

Heh,  I used dwm a few times briefly, but its just too dull for my tastes.  I am not sure how to configure autostarting apps among other things.

Dwm aka is a pile of sludge.

Also, its not even that much lighter in cpu usage/ram than i3-wm and jwm. 

My two cents.

I can tell you are only shit stirring so ill only bite a little bit.

You can patch dwm to autostart apps, depending on your setup and whether you are using login manager. Login manager i think you can use xsessionrc in debian.

https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/autostart/ <-- wrong patch

https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/cool_autostart/ < --this one

dwm is complicated for many as they dont understand how to use it, which is probably your issue zapper.

I am shit stirring? Well...  my bad, I just don't get DWM's appeal is all, I wanted people to explain it to me.

It confuses me greatly.

But thank you for your info! Quick question though, which uses more cpu power/battery life:

JWM or DWM?

just curious.

Though I am still curious how you apply that patch to dwm.

Let me know if you are willing.

Anyway, for the OP: post the contents of the file

/etc/apt/sources.list

Another wise thing to do:

su #type root password and press enter
#if your system uses sudo, use this command instead: sudo su
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot

This updates your entire system and may take some time. It should also deal with any policy issues mentioned before. Notice the word should, I've never used this policy stuff before.

Devuan's default graphical desktop relies pretty heavily on polkit and dbus.
