#126 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan (fresh install) noticeably slow compared to debian » 2025-09-15 01:01:40

@rolfie it still is a 13th gen processor. I bet it is faster than some medium grade gen 10 processors and definitely most older stuff.

#128 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-09 03:47:52

@rwall that sounds peculiar, but I am glad you found out the answer you needed

#129 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-08 04:37:44

@rwall stable or testing?

And if unstable, that's why its happening. Its meant for developers lol.

#131 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-06 18:39:51

@kapqa nitrokey is the best at the moment. completely open development. Not proprietary at all.

#132 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] OpenRC Woes » 2025-09-06 18:38:02

I recommend you avoid using ceres/sid.

If you use testing, openrc would probably work for that too, but devuan unstable is just a good way to get a broken system.

If you don't know how to fix the problems that come with unstable, use testing or stable. I cannot recommend this enough.

#133 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-05 03:49:32

@kappa nitrokey is better  then yubikey according to what I have heard.  Its completely open source or if you prefer libre.

#134 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-03 19:25:05

T480 is a definite improvement over T430 and X230 too. It uses very little electricity from what i see. And at 5.0 load it barely feels hot on my chest.

#135 Re: Documentation » HOW TO: Install XLibre on Devuan » 2025-09-03 19:19:32

I think I might actually consider supporting this project. I still prefer Xenocara as an idea, but whatever.

My disdain for wayland is growing...

synaptic doesn't work in devuan/gnuinos. wink

Librewolf better,. firefox has all sorts of crap enabled by default including pocket.

@EDX-0 Is there a way to make it so that I only need to press up and down to scroll? Without shift I mean. for xterm

#138 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-02 10:20:57

@SteveM not at all, but I am curious what hardware you have.

#139 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-09-02 01:47:42

@aitor actually, what are your plans for gnuinos?

Do you plan to remove dbus, avahi, networkmanager,  pulseaudio, pipewire , polkit and wayland dependencies from as much stuff as possible? I assume this is just a bold  thought on my part, but I was curious on what your goals are besides the libre aspect,

I currently though have gnuinos on one of my SSDs though

#140 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2025-09-02 01:42:37

@fanderal huh didnt know that about xterm

#141 Re: Off-topic » The Crappiness of Modern Laptops » 2025-09-02 01:39:44

NovaCustom and system76 or Nitrokey are good ones if you desire new hardware. Otherwise I would pick a librebootable t480/t480s or similar

#142 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-09-02 01:37:24

If its a choice between xlibre and wayland, I would choose xlibre probably.

Wayland is a mess and I have a feeling it has some secret problems that redhat hasn't mentioned deliberately

#143 Re: Off-topic » For those who like open bioses, » 2025-09-02 01:31:34

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn Yes, but its still far better than the stock bios with intel me rammed completely open.

wink

#145 Re: Off-topic » Happy Labor Day friends! » 2025-08-31 01:47:03

Devuan may not do as much as I would suggest to getting rid of bloat, but even getting rid of systemd is a good start anyhow.

As for what I would remove as dependencies from packages that don't need it? Well I could say, but its off topic for now. poetterware/redhatware/freedesktop.orgware is all I will say.

Anywho glad devuan exists anyhow. big_smile

I think its common news probably now, but I will say it anyways,

T480/T480s are now supported by libreboot.

Those are 8th gen intel laptops. And if you use me clean on it in combination, which libreboot dev Leah has as a default when its flashed correctly.

Then its a VERY fast libreboot laptop.

The fastest I know of anyhow that isn't a chromebook and maybe in general. smile

If anyone loves such tech, I recommend you to buy one.   I pondered such an idea recently.

#147 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2025-08-31 01:39:51

@EDX-0 It would be nice to have something that works  like sakura but with way less bloated dependencies.

It would have to have copy paste and show scrollbar as requirements. All terminals that do this require vte3 or vte2.

#148 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-08-27 01:24:01

I have recompiled MANY things.  More so once I installed Hyperbola

Including:
virt-manager
dosbox-x (devuan for also!)
dhcpcd-ui
wine
iceweasel-uxp
icedove-uxp
palemoon
focuswriter
bleachbit
rclone
lzdoom
dreamchess
jazz2  Resurrection
luakit
novelwriter
I think that is enough examples big_smile

#149 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-08-27 01:23:13

@golinux I think part of my response belongs in the thread where I posted.

"@knighttemplar you are kinder than I in this regard. I don't put up with crap like that. I would've probably told that dude who wanted to ban you, to quote "suck it."

Even though I probably would have been banned.

I don't tolerate corporate fascists or corporate thugs.

Also, staying with a distro that has such a community is close to the level of bad of tolerating actual idiots.

I have my limits I will say.

wink"

#150 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-08-26 02:24:35

It would be interesting to ditch wayland as a distro in the future for devuan. I know its primary purpose is to escape systemd and be like debian, but I feel like wayland is not the best way forward.  It probably has other problems that haven't been revealed that are worse than xorg in its best form.
