There is none 100% safety system as the life we live is not 100% guaranteed by countless factors.
In my opinion, Linux critics are even worse than those of Windows, especially on some prestigious tech-forums that are quite weird.

Meanwhile, Linux list it is even longer, consumers still use it.

The question wasn't addressed to me, but I am also giving my 2 cents.

As a BSD newbie , i really don't care that much anymore. I do as much i can to do my duties without being paranoid at all.
There are holes everywhere, from hardware to software. One issue will be closed another one will come out.

Use what makes you feel better and don't live for the other's eye or criticism. Criticize yourself if you want to or ignore by using something else.

Oldie but a goldie

Thank you very much zephyr, i must adjust a few settings and perhaps install some others packg to make it working.
I'll start to rice one of these days

Best regards!

Thanks for sharing the guide Ogis1975, When it comes to cli audio player mpd (Daemon) is irreplaceable.

I too use ncdu, top/htop, youtube-dl the latter is almost in use daily, Everything from Youtube ends here thanks to mpv player. Also ffmpeg helps me pretty much about other media stuff's. Didn't know about "pmytd" & "pmrp" The first one looks very interesting, I will immediately check it and perhaps use it right away. I don't hear much radio on PC, the snippet-app looks just fine. hakerdefo have some pretty nifty stuff on his github. Thanks for sharing.

As you pointed out about those European cities, they are very beautiful in the cultural and historical prism, their ancient buildings being a great asset for themselves or entire world regarding history concerned. I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot when you make a visit on them. Australia is going through a very difficult time with fires and I hope they'll recover soon. I'm really sorry for what I see on the Internet from them, I wish when you make your going the colossal damage is minimized. Never been to extraordinary Hawaii, i'd love to get some sunshine now in January. I believe you were lucky to live in that place

After all the hard work, the reward is deserved, so that after a lifetime of work breaks are necessary, Even though rest, hands do not cease to do daily work which means we never rest as long as we breathe.
My pleasure to hear from you bro, Thanks aswell for sharing your Linux stuff and stories.

Best regards!

^Almost same to me, I remember very well the first time where SID boy break my toy, apt-listbugs & apt-listchanges i had em as my daily tools where i got the data regarding apps-bugs, info or releases. I was very family with hold-unhold packages then on my-testing for years, but the transition from kernel 3.16 to 4 or from Wheezy non-systemd to systemd something crashed and i couldn't manage to recover from it with my efforts, that's ended my little time on the sid. Agree, Wheezy was the last clean of Debian, the one and the best Debian i ever used. With the living of Devuan Debian pre-systemd the feeling is revived.

I used eq of foobar aswell, When i bought a pair of professional headphones i realized that i no longer needed those sound-configs.
Well, since i have urxvt,ranger,tmux,mpv,feh i couldn't leave myself without a cli audio-player, I am not so dedicated as i used to be. however, "apt-get" is the only 100% there ready to perform.

Thank you too, I'd been around Europe for a few days and had fun. I have meet few old and new friends around Italy, France, Belgium. Well, i still have 20+ more years to retire have planty of time to give and get on my way. Important to be fine and healthy above all.

Glad to hear from you zephyr.

Best Regards!

I had to wakup my interface eth0 static this way.

from my: "/etc/network/interfaces"

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.1.132
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 192.168.1.1
     network 192.168.1.0
     broadcast 192.168.1.255
     dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Just change mine data to yours and ping 8.8.8.8 once your system finish booting.

I wish three elections to be considered by Devian senior management if one day a decision is made.

1) Switch to Slackware
2) BSD
3) Independent

Currently I'm already 80% BSD and 20% Linux well thanks to systemD that made me switch after 10 years on Linux mostly Debian or -based. My passing transition from Linux to BSD wasn't at all difficult than i thought.

I have always a ready system at any time for any startup Devuan will take. I am now practicing myself with new things mostly BSD.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanks for the suggestion ChuangTzu, I've thought about it for a while, I've checked a bit on my early distro-hops and i regret that I didn't devoted enough time to the oldest (i think one of the true Linux distro around) i should have used more. I will consider it to check it soon, Any independent distro will have always a place in my mind as soon the opportunity knocking.

I'm not going to abandon Linux completely, but to I've lost a lot of trust in Debian since systemd, Debian once was my dearest OS.
Thanks to Devuan I still experience the feeling i once had. If things getting worse on the road, every other chances are open to me.

Regarding SalixOS, i know only by name, i'll make a visit to this distro aswell.

At the moment i'm having fun playing with BSD, I see that it have some limits compared to Linux. However, already i feel comfortable being on the BSD boats that i think is clean, honest and trustworthy regardless a few limits in some things.

Thanks mate, I'll consider your two suggestions that you put on the table.

BR!

Thanks guys

@anticapitalista I haven't made any specific interventions or modifications on Xorg/xorg.conf itself, but I think the fact that Desktop is outdated and probably auto-optimization by Linux / Xorg have significant role.

What others i have done?

I installed very minimal Xorg with fev tools

Commandline: apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-intel rxvt-unicode fluxbox leafpad alsa-utils curl wget scrot feh gtk2-engines-pixbuf ntfs-3g xfe psmisc rcconf x11-xserver-utils ranger file caca-utils libdbus-glib-1-2 gtk2-engines fonts-droid ttf-unifont ca-certificates hicolor-icon-theme jmtpfs mediainfo lm-sensors ncdu rdesktop xdg-utils xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-common --no-install-recommends

I had to clean startup services with rcconf to very few services i only needed, i fixed everything "(WW) warning, (EE) error" founds on Xorg.log.

I made sure i hadn't major issues showing to: "kern.log", "faillog", "syslog" "messages", etc... then i turned off rsyslog temporary for testing purpose.
During the installation (in the traditional Expert method) I only installed the ones i needed. Also i always check ReduceDebian to made many changes.

In the end, i had a complete system + apps to 1GB with only "410" pckgs installed.
None: systemd, dbus, pulse, consolekit, gvfs, and many many unneeded tools.

Filesystem     Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1      ext4      143G 1021M  135G   1% /
udev           devtmpfs   10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs          tmpfs     200M  304K  200M   1% /run
tmpfs          tmpfs     5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs          tmpfs     1.2G     0  1.2G   0% /run/shm

I turned OFF few tty from "/etc/inittab", i got some memory plus reduced to only one tty(1).

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -a nili tty1
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
#2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

I made auto login (user) + auto startup (startX) Window manager (Fluxbox) from ".profile".
ps_mem shows me different datas than "TOP", for example:

PS_MEM: 10MB to 15MB
TOP: Xorg 12MB to 30MB

To tell the truth i don't know which is correct conky aslo showing different, also bash scripts differents aswell.
I've read that it's a long struggle for accuracy about memory usages on Linux.

I believe the old system, plays a major role to have auto-optimized, i have another coherent system when Xorg spends almost 50MB on Idle.

Something else, on this old hardware Devuan i686 i used to have Xorg to 8MB. I'm really surprised that x64 boots to 30MB lol, i think i can get it even more down by replacing Fluxbox with dwm, rxvt-unicode with st and bash with ksh, but i accepted choosing Fluxbox, bash+urxvt.

So, sorry i don't have a precise answer to why is low my Xorg, except for some individual interventions i believe have helped reducing the usage of Xorg/system may i call a bit of an answer.

Thanks zephyr, Me too like watching scrots of users. It's the part i usually visit the most. We get inspired to do something similar or individually.

That Akiba panorama on my desktop is old now from 2010, but the place is left almost the same.
That's good to hear, hope yo've been satisfied. I believe so
