WOW! Even I am not that cynical because I have know too many folks trying to do the right thing the right way . . .
All I know is that whatever I'm eating/doing keeps my system happy . . .

Maybe Devuan should take up the mantle and publish more info on these things online.
Or maybe that is something that quickfur might want to explore and curate?

@andyp67 . . . you are ballooning the forum logs with personal ramblings that have no place in a technical forum. Please find a more appropriate venue to do that . . .

You can install LibreOffice Writer without installing all of LibreOffice. Cuts down on the bloat . . .

one question. which init has the xfce iso live version?
Same as the installer isos sysvinit.

No. But you can download and add KDE after installation.

What's with all the wife jokes . . . ? How about some husband jokes for balance?
#663 Re: Installation » Bookworm -> Daedalus migration nscd network-manager failed » 2023-12-28 15:30:43
I do not think libsystemd0 is harmful
Yes, it is just an annoyance but removing it would be wasted effort for no benefit. That's why it may still present in Devuan.
but I seem to be unable to have it, as holding it when installed would not allow installing these packages (well, dummy-elogind allowed some of them, but not all).
Unless something has changed, there is no need to have libsystemd0 present in Devuan.
#664 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » merged /usr » 2023-12-28 03:09:10
There are extensive discussions on the DNG mail list. The takeaway (if I understand it correctly) is that unless we have a huge influx of devs to fork the necessary packages, usrmerge will be unavoidable. Read and draw your own conclusions.

This this forum post titled Why are systemd files present in Devuan? will help you understand that those files that are bothering you are harmless and necessary. Note that I posted that statement but did not write it. Take care . . .

@stopAi . . . tread carefully. That was uncalled for.
#668 Re: Installation » KDE Desktop » 2023-12-25 16:18:45
From https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan :
desktop-live: Explore the default Xfce desktop before installing. Then install easily and quickly from the live session using the refractainstaller. Firmware is installed but can easily be removed.

AI will destroy humanity and we are doomed, rest in piss
No! Don't blame AI!! It is stupid humans who always have and always will find creative ways to destroy even their own species.
#670 Re: Other Issues » Security updates for forked packages? (e.g. xorg-server) » 2023-12-23 20:48:07
It looks like xorg-server comes directly from Debian so you shouldn't have to do anything special if you sources.list is in order.
#671 Re: Installation » KDE Desktop » 2023-12-23 20:37:40
Welcome to Devuan. Please refer to the Install Guide which includes screenshots of the installer options. #17 lists the options available for DE or WM.
#672 Re: Installation » linux-image-6.1.0-16-amd64 » 2023-12-23 20:33:42
Perhaps they are wanting to see if anyone will notice on the way to deprecating these functions entirely? Maybe you could file a bug with the kernel folks . . .
#673 Re: Off-topic » Xfinity Data Breach » 2023-12-22 22:20:48
Has anybody done this before? And I mean done it to the point that's actually usable for day-to-day use, not just a proof-of-concept "see I can do it" deal.
Yes . . . this Devuan derivative. It has been around for many years. May not work on you device though . . .

Note that to get to Daedalus from Beowulf you have to go through Chimaera first and that might be a good place to hang for a year or two . . .
#675 Re: Devuan » New Devuan user here » 2023-12-19 18:38:03
@greenjeans . . . It's looking like there won't be any more Devuan custom themes for you to bitch about . . . so you can do a happy dance . . .
