The PC is slower than the default raspbian http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/

I see it especially when I compile hte PI3 with devuan and the PI3 with debian.
Debian compiles very fast, while devuan on PI3 takes ages.

besides, there is a bug on devuan on pi3. GCC does not compile correctly. Getting seg. fault often on most time. (not space )
It seems that something is not normal with gcc since I can compile anywhere (debian, slack, bsd,...).

Chromium Web Browser on Raspberry Pi3 is not found into the DEVUAN repositories.

By, the way, that could help users to browse the web, because Firefox is damn slow.

I had tried several wpa-XXXX things.

The best is definitely this line: wpa-conf /etc/network/wifi-home.conf
in other words :    " wpa-conf"

Here is procedure on Devuan! It is really stable for far on the DEVUAN Raspberry PI3.
I am glad it works, because of the the following:

"Internet !" What to do without Internet today?

iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan0 inet dhcp  
wpa-conf /etc/network/wifi-config.conf

the trick is NOT to use allow-hotplug, but to add dhcp and to avoid roaming !
Instead is conf must reliable to be used.

It works on both platforms that have deb, namely Debian and Devuan, but also on Slackware.
Ubuntu?? who care about Ubuntu? Who really wants a slow, shinning, flashing, with gold window decoration, silver shinning menus, amazing animation, turning pseudo 3d desktops, amazing bubble, sound, ...  desktop (operating system) ?;)
Why not keeping a desktop just simple and ugly (dwm, evilwm, jwm,...)?

On my system, I figure out a bit memory usage in general. herewith indicated.
Blackbox is really light.

Furthermore, I have impression that Blackbox runs extremely fast. It is very quick, new windows popup immediately, in a flash.
Openbox is too but it looks a bit slower.
Icewm is less fast. 
Just first reaction time impressions.

Hello,

I CONFIRM YOU the bug !!

I have bought a new raspberry. I installed DEVUAN on it.
It does the same.

I tried on another plug (sheeva) and it DOES work under Debian. It is an arm too.

After many tries, it seems that there is a compiling issue maybe GCC or a Library. It may be important.

Ok to contact using IRC, so on my plug, I have  installed IRSSI, and I did /connect irc.freenode.irc
I am ready for chat. What's his pseudo ?

I need to find a manual for this IRSSI... I always forget some commands (getting old maybe )

Thank you

I would be glad, but I am not a fan of leaving my IP address everywhere. Are they some possible cloacking or better... dedicated irc chat which does not make public user ip addresses?

Thank you Golinux for all your efforts and help on the dev of Devuan !
It is great that a system Debian could be forked and be free of the intruder SystemD !!!!

thank you again

Raspberry PI 3 model B got the following devuan_jessie_1.0.0_arm64_raspi3.img.xz 

BUT It is not working.

When I try to compile my own functions, tinybox, DEVUAN Raspberry gives me segmentation fault.
This is very strange since it is an old C programme, and it worked all the time on any DEBIAN installations,  even DEBIAN on PI 3 raspberry.

I checked and it is really commming from DEVUAN for raspberry. What could it be?

here an example, what could be going on?
https://github.com/spartrekus/tinybox

Does it have something to do that the architecture is a ARMHF and NOT a ARM64??

jwm is ok, openbox too.
Something like Blackbox would be ok, anyhow, it can still be compiled if... fixed, and be used on libx11-dev.

my installation is on nothing to save space and resource.

     apt-get update ;  apt-get install ntpdate  links w3m ncftp  netbase wpasupplicant  make  gcc bc subversion  gcc bc ncurses-dev      
     apt-get install    nedit  scrot   xinit libx11-dev blackbox menu      xserver-xorg alsa-utils alsa-base  ssh 
     apt-get install screen openssh-server           
     and chromium

By the time, it goes to less than less... I want to compile the kernel and have my own compiler and system, based on Linux kernel. I have time, I am learning step by step.

I pretty much prefer Blackbox to Openbox. I don't know why.
Blackbox is really nice. It is too easy to understand for everyone, and besides blackbox is not using XML.

Oh...why Blackbox. Just because it takes much less memory than Openbox. Memory usage is my first consideration in the choice.
I remember that tinywm is less than 50 lines, and it takes  nothing. So shall another WM:

Well, you won't sell me Openbox, so far, I but well, if Openbox might reduce the use of Memory, maybe, it could be good.

DWM is pretty small in use of space. Evilwm too.

But blackbox offers almost everything one may need and its size is tiny.
