And this, friends, is why I work hard to keep my old hardware working! Microsoft has dipped its fingers in far too many pies in the Linux Scene. And if this is the fate of Linux -Imagine what hell awaits our comrades on *BSD. I understand the security need, but sheesh, its as if Lennart learned *nothing* from the long lecture Linus gave him about the users.

This, dear friends, is why I also feel it is imperative that we try to find more ways to keep Devuan Desktop running as resource-efficiently as possible, so we can keep it working on older hardware as long as we can. Hell, just yesterday I tested my calamares image on a 16-year-old 32-bit Toshiba Satellite, and it still runs smoothly. But for how long? The gradual bloat of the desktops will see to this, too, eventually bogging down. Perhaps it's time for a task-icewm-desktop or task-jwm-desktop package? who knows.

But, i know this: If we have managed to make it this far, I KNOW we can figure it out, I have faith in our team. We can do this!
