I got that yesterday on a youtu.be link. After going through several screens of bicycles and busses (and clicking on every box that did NOT have what they asked me to identify) I clicked on boxes to form letters, one for each screen. Total of 7 letters, two words, to tell them how I felt about it.

Then I switched from firefox-esr to tor-browser and got right to the page I wanted.

Using a non-standard port for ssh (or any service) doesn't work as well as it used to. If your server is exposed to the internet, it's just a matter of checking your IP address to see what ports you have open.

Main menu:
Applications -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media
Then check appropriate boxes.

Thunar file manager:
Devices should show up in the left side panel. I don't recall if I had to change any settings to get that. That would either be in Edit -> Preferences or View.

It's linux. There are 10 ways to do anything. Pick one.

If you have a root account, you can su to root to do admin tasks. If you don't have a root account, you need to use sudo to do admin tasks, and in that case, you're probably a member of the sudo group and can do anything with it.

The original intent of sudo was to allow fine-grained permissions for certain users or groups to do a few specific admin tasks rather than give them total root access.

What you should not do is log into a desktop session as root.

What is says is that if you want to use sudo to run a command in /usr/local/(s)bin, you must now give the full path to the command.

What I see is that I do not have to give the full path to run the command with sudo, but maybe that's because I have the full path to the command already in my /etc/sudoers.d/usercommands. So for me, there's no change. Tested this in freia with the version of sudo mentioned above.

Confirmed.

task-lxqt-desktop and sddm are installed, but there are no lxqt packages installed. Boots to console login. And 'startx' seems to be missing, although there are xorg packages installed.

I've installed lxqt in freia a few times previously, but always after a base (no-X) install. This is the first time I've tried selecting lxqt from the tasksel menu, so I don't know if this is a new behavior or not.

apt install lxqt brings in a lot. (Total 1477 packages) It looks like everything is there now.

@greenjeans: I recommend eye protection, or at least cover the knife with your free hand when you cut it. I once had a habanero seed fly up into my eye. Not fun. And be careful where you put your fingers afterward.

This one does not have elogind or consolekit or turnstile. Just seatd and some elogind libraries. No display manager. I think you could remove some of those libraries if you removed the lxqt packages.

The turnstile iso has turnstile for user services. It's only used for pipewire in the iso you used. Turnstile uses the script in ~/.user_session.d

Did you revert to using only alsa for audio after removing turnstile?

Booting a usb in uefi mode varies depending on the motherboard. I usually bring up the boot device menu to boot from usb, and some motherboards give a choice of booting it either way. The devuan-live isos when imaged to a usb stick (using dd or cat) should boot whichever way the bios is set to boot the hard disk, but that doesn't always work out. Again, that depends on how the motherboard implements uefi (i.e. how it deviates from standards.)

A simpler way to install to the removable media path is to edit /etc/refractainstaller.conf to uncomment the media_opt line.

# UEFI Removable Media Path
# Uncomment to force installation to the removable media path also.
# This option is only available on EFI.
# Default is commented out.

#media_opt="--force-extra-removable"

It's easier with freia. You don't need backports. I'm looking at my freia now and a few packages are newer than what I posted in July. I think the instructions for the sources say to use "testing". Follow NexuSfan's instructions.

Installing yt-dlp from the repo is pointless since every version stops working after a short time due to youtube's efforts to stop yt-dlp from working. That's probably why the maintainer doesn't bother to update it.
