Hello Devuan team,

I just registered as a new member of the Devuan community, although I’ve been following this forum since 2024.

About me: I’m Polish and I live in Warsaw.
I’ve been using Linux daily since 2001 (Mandrake Linux back then). For a long time, I used PCLinuxOS, KDE/Trinity desktop. I really appreciated the common-sense approach and user-friendliness of its community, and their reluctance to switch to systemd.
For a short time, I used PCLinuxOS Debian Edition, again because it didn’t have systemd, and that’s how I made the switch from the RPM world to the DEB world. In 2024 that led me to Devuan, and that’s where my distro-hopping ended (I hope). Currently I use Devuan Excalibur Plasma 6 a desktop computer I built myself.

Devuan gives me everything I need: a stable, polished system and a large software repository. I don’t have to use systemd, and I can get by without sudo (I really hate that feature).
After a quarter-century of using Linux, I no longer need any “control panels” like those in PCLinuxOS or MX Linux to customize the system and software to my needs.

Finally, I’m really glad to have joined the Devuan community, and I’ll do my best to contribute as much as I can.

Greetings from Warsaw,

Krzysztof (Christopher)

Welcome to Devuan! I'm another user that can't stand sudo, I also used pclinuxos back in the day, and that part of it stuck with me all these years.
