Don't rub salt in the wound!
That was certainly not my intention. I thought you may also be interested in those bird facts: you were/are seemingly lucky to have spotted that specimen in the UK, so your shot is in itself a great feat. I like that bird, but I never noticed the variations in its singing mentioned in the article. I will need to listen more carefully.
EDIT: not sure why I assumed your shot was taken in the UK. I still like your hoopoe pic.

Because of this bird, I now have three cameras and a bunch of optics for a Pentax SLR.
He flew to my garden and wanted to capture it. If I knew then that "birds" are the most expensive thing!

Hence, today I decided to update the isos once again.
Thank you. Surely I will give another try at Chimaera at some point. I only remember that the Xfce session became unresponsive, possibly after an update: I could still move the pointer around, but clicking on menus or icons would not trigger any visible reaction. The keyboard also seemed unresponsive, so I could not even log in another tty. So yes, probably related to vdev vs. eudev, I suppose.
Anyway, Daedalus is proving quite resilient for now, so I am going to keep tweaking it and see how much I can bend it to my needs and to my liking.
EDIT: I installed Chimaera again from the last ISO, and all went well. I made the exact same "tweaking" I had been doing on Daedalus, so at times I forget which version is running. By the way, Daedalus was repeatedly trying to ping through wlan at startup, to no avail since that non-free wifi card is not compatible. Chimaera is not exhibiting that behavior, even when wifi is enabled in the BIOS setup. The only usability thing I have been unable to do on that Chimaera system is to activate two-finger scrolling and right-click emulation on the touch pad. I am quite sure they were functional on Daedalus.

Gnuinos is using the Linux-libre kernel, the current version in Daedalus is 5.19.0.2.
Newer versions of the Linux-libre kernel are available up to 6.2, but they have to be installed manually.

I just noticed there is a new Chimaera live iso from two days ago. The last install with the previous iso eventually went to frozen mode, so I decided to try my luck with the Daedalus Xfce 64-bit iso instead, which has been working just fine for now. Probably because of the time elapsed Because Daedalus is the current testing version, "$ sudo apt update" is complaining about a missing release files. All upgrades went fine, of course.

Let me check both cases. I did some lvm partitioning time ago in order to test hopman, but I guess that it was under devuan with eudev as device manager. Give me some time and I shall let you know the results of my enquiries, thanks
Thank you for your much appreciated work on Gnuinos.
I just found a clue about XFS in another section of the forum: "if you have enough RAM to install packages in a live session, you can install xfsprogs and then format partitions with xfs." https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=36004#p36004
After deeper inquiry about XFS, I realize that Ext4 is in fact better suited for my use: it is somewhat faster than XFS, and it allows resizing. My question arose from the fact that there is an XFS option in the partitioner tool of the installer, although of course it will not format if selected.

Hello, Gnuinos world. I just realized that there is a freshly baked ISO available. Was testing Chimaera Xfce 64-bit, great experience: 380MiB RAM with a complete DE.
I ran into the missing /dev/mapper/gnuinos--vg-root error when I tried to install with LVM, so I did without LVM and everything went fine. Also, is there a trick to get the installer to format to XFS? It would not, so I used EXT 4 instead. That was with the previous 2023-03-11 image, though.
