It seems no matter how long I'm on Linux, the question of how to set up policy kit never gets easier.

Typically I just completely ignore it and use sudo for my needs (nopasswd in sudoers)

Is it advisable to go about things this way, or should I be setting up policy kit?

Is policy kit even necessary?

Sorry for my ignorance but I have to ask

Any help would be appreciated thank you

Actually I would love to hear your thoughts on connman vs nm.

I am currently using connman myself.

Thank you

That was exactly what I needed

Also I just checked the link by your name and saw the sharp bang

It's very interesting to me because I use a minimal desktop with openbox and tint2

I've created a start menu however or root menu using xdotool and an autogen script

(Just the openbox menu being called by xdotool on a button click)

Also several zenity scripts of my own making to make it all more user friendly.

I may use that d/l to save on some installation time for my minimal desktop

Thanks

After being stuck with the distribution that I liked having systemd for the last couple years,  I finally decided to go ahead and switch over to Devuan.

My question I believe is very simple, in systemd to set the date and time you use timedatectl

What is the equivalent to do so without systemd on devuan

My breif research suggests installing ntp, is that all there is to it ?

Or would there be a config or command to run?

Thanks

To the person who said unerbootin was not available and asked for another tool.

If the following commands are available:
git
make

You can use git copy to copy the rpi-imager from githib and make / make install it

Then just select other iso instead of downloading in app

Select your iso and sd card and write.

Rpi-imager git command:

git copy https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager

There are tons of tips on make / make install all over the internet

Good luck
