Yes congratulations Devuan and thank you to all that put in hard work to create such an amazing distribution.

Hello, just returning to this, apologies it has been a while. I noticed that I still, get the 'Donations to this recipient aren't supported in this country' message when trying to donate to Devuan.
My thoughts: I can donate to Dyne.org as there are a few options. This will go towards Dyne projects and Devuan. 
I use other Dyne software so I think it is a better option for me.

Wondering is a better idea to redirect the Devuan donation requests  to Dyne with a message like 'Supporting The Dyne.org Foundation you support Devuan ' or something allot those lines.

Just an update, PayPal customer service  actually rang me, I couldn't believe it!
They said that nothing on their end is blocking the transaction, and it could be an issue with the client.
I'm wondering if this is something to do with the button code on the donation page ?
Hopefully someone in the Devuan team can look into this.

Thanks
Rue.

This is excellent news! Thank you.

Interesting, I had a misbehaving browser today actually, Firefox + Youtube stream = misbehaving browser.
I never thought of adding xkill to the panel, that's a good Idea. Certainly faster than trying to open a terminal while Firefox slowly melts my laptop into the Earths core.  I'm going to try this out right now.
Thanks!

Yes I saw this too,
I see Hex DSL has modified his site too, he also has some interesting scripts to do with Gemini too. Just haven't had time to look at them yet.

I understand where you are coming from but I am optimistic, and I like to think that communities will come together for common good and put differences aside. It's in my nature i guess.

I guess if it is too heavy with unwanted applications you could go with the net install or advanced and choose what applications you want during install.

If you are looking for a minimal system you could try Devuan Minimal-Live, be warned through, it is what it says, Minimal, no xorg or desktop. I have it installed on my old Pentium III laptop it runs like a charm

Agreed, for me the idea of digital minimalism is not becoming a digital monk and living in a cave as such, though with the madness in the world, sometimes that does sound appealing. I think it is about less clutter and minimising the bloat, using the tools you need but not going with out, I think we all know how easy it is to bloat our computers, and of course some OS's conveniently do it for you

It's funny as I'm writing this, looking at my Kubuntu desktop I have three different browsers open, SeaMonkey for this, Chrome for work "because I have to use it"
and Firefox for services I am logged into Youtube, Email etc.  I'm not doing very well as a digital minimalist at the moment

Yes indeed Servers are fun, I run one or two myself, I guess I was thinking. Servers are sort of a specialist area where as Desktop is more widely general use.
I guess you could say a server is more lean by design maybe? Depending on what the server is used for of course.
