It is what it is and has been since 2016 or so . . .

As I explained, there are ways to get the information you seek without incurring the extra count. Pick one and be happy.

Yes, that's the way it works. That won't happen if you go to the page where all topics for that forum are listed. You can also subscribe to your post and it will send an email when there is a response.

IIRC, openrc uses the sysvinit scripts.

Indeed . . . devuan.org was crafted from scratch by hellekin. It has gone through some changes but that code is mostly still in use and I always created my sites in a text editor too.

[edit] There was a time when exploring the creative possibilities of html and css was a "thing":

The only rule is:

"You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML."

Do take a tour through their gallery . . . though it seems a bit broken atm . . .

[edit2] Another interesting option to add to a site created in a text editor is  Flat Press which use to be an no-database version of wordpress. Have no idea where it's gone since I last used it.

Sorry for the OT, folks . . .

Well done and much appreciated!!

Just an FYI . . . SLiM is in the process of an upgrade. Discussion starts here.

Well, before long Chimaera will be old stable then fade into history so it probably won't affect us that much. Some folks searching on the other spelling could even end up here which isn't a bad thing . . .

You have never understood my thinking or motivations so unsurprisingly hadn't a clue this time. Have you never heard the expression to "give someone enough rope to hang themselves"? You both have done that rather spectacularly! In fact I was planning to post this morning something like . . . "Have y'all embarrassed yourself enough yet? Is it time to put this thread out of its misery?" Mutual ego stroking was the solution which just perpetuates the delusion . . .

Good grief! What a drama queen!  Exit left or stick around. The choice is yours. The injured party here is not your ego but the free software community who has suffered your hissy fits.

Actions or non-actions have purpose though in this case I think the point has fallen on deaf ears . . .

Thank you for offering to do so!

There is a lot of noise but little communication.

Not this one . . .

There is no external solution to human stupidity . . . that is an individual journey. Not many takers . . .

At Devuan we value contributions to a common cause of which zero has come from you. The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct states:

All views are deluded and we will live in disharmony and conflict until we can move beyond them. Gandhi got it right. Stupid humans attached to their views never will. That is the source of all suffering in the world . . .

I have no idea what gnome looks like. I abandoned that ship with the arrival of gnome3. The desktop image provided on the link has all the subtlety of Fisher-Price on steroids and caters to the ADD generation. I don't know how anyone could do serious work in that environment. Gives me a headache . . .

Devuan is not soliciting additional desktops and I am not sure it would even be offcially included unless it gets passed down to us from Debian.
