Thanks to all involved in getting this released....

The strength of Devuan is its use of XFCE - but I would still like to see a smaller .iso with maybe just WM & Firefox, but the devs have enough on their hands, I believe, just keeping systemd away...

Peppermint Flagship basically comes with just a web browser, & if I remember, file manager & terminal, leaving the user to download their choice of other programs.

Devuan comes complete with web browser, office suite, video player, music player, etc; basically Peppermint Fully Loaded equivalent.

I'm not a user, but did try it out a while ago. They use both Debian & Devuan distro bases.

I manually set partition sizes myself, if the distro installer doesn't allow for this, I will partition disk before installing.

Root & Home usually enough for me.

Whilst talking installing, does Devuan install to NVME drives (?), because I couldn't get Daedalus to install to an HP Prodesk i5 fitted with one.

Easy OS is part of the Puppy Linux Family, I haven't got around to trying it yet, but sounds interesting, if you like the 'Puppy' type of distro.

I keep my hand in with the BSDs, just in case Linux really does 'go bad', & also keep an eye on other operating systems such as Haiku....

(Debian's uptake of pulseaudio & systemd were the deciding factor for abandoning pure Debian for me.)

Maybe take a look at Void Linux as a possible alternative - https://voidlinux.org/

You could try -> https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=57204#p57204

It seems to be usable - I use Raspberry Pi OS on a RPi5, which has it, but not as a particular choice, I have Devuan on my RPi4B.

Maybe here - https://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/desktop-live/

Another thing, I have multiple computers, & have learned to set up one how I want, then take a snapshot & use that to install to other computers.

There are still quite a few distros with 32bit.
