Can you suggest some tips and tricks for speed up Devuan?

deepforest · 2022-11-15 01:18:37

Here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=38617#p38617
what services is safe to disable?
sysv here, rc-update not found but update-rc.d works

I use openrc init,

How switch Devuan to openrc? And is it safe to swich? What is faster sysv or openrc?

On sysvinit you can use sysv-rc-conf to enable and disable services.

sudo sysv-rc-conf

Make sure you know what the different runlevels are, or learn them. They are fairly simple, but important.

I like open-rc because it's faily simple to manage.

I don't know if it's faster or more customable, I have little experiences with runit and a few others.

Debian sid certainly freezes. There may be a few package updates but not many. At least in my recent experience.

EDIT: to change from sysvinit to openrc use

# apt install openrc

But that will still use sysvinit as PID1. To use openrc-init as PID1 see https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2788.

this.
sid also "freezes". no updates coming in while testing freezes to become stable. exception might be some last RC updates, but even that, stop completely a few days prior to release.

and sid is not always fluid and unstable. most of the time it's pretty stable, but oh well, not always. (and stable is not always stable either..)
for those wanting to try sid/ceres, keep backups at all times.for that moment something breaks in sid, you'll certainly want a backup available.

Give it time

i'm on sid/ceres for more than 15years and will never change it

And enjoy the massively outdated packages during the upcoming freeze. The Debian devs sometimes even leave critical bugs unfixed in the development branches until the release is done...

oh come on, having more outdated packages than stable is never true for sid.. (testing having newer packages prior to release, might) ;-)

That's very commendable. I've had my Arch box break twice in the last few weeks and I'm very close to jumping ship and returning to Debian stable + Liquorix kernel. I'm a coward

Thanks. Question? Is it have a secnse? Switching to openrc give me speed and overall system responcivness ?

Thanks! Please give me advice. And what exactly need to backup? How do you this? And how restore is system broke?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2022-11-15 09:40:22

I very much doubt a change in PID1 would be noticeable.

I prefer openrc-init & runit-init as PID1 over systemd or sysvinit but only because of their small code base compared to the alternatives (especially systemd). My Alpine system performs identically with either busybox or openrc-init as PID1, the only difference I can detect are in the boot messages.

I stand corrected by those who swim in those waters.

If we talk about the speed of different releases without systemd, then subjectively, the fastest, with the same version of DE , PCLinuxOS works for me.

It's not a competitor to Devuan, just a roling release, a rollback is possible if you took a snapshot before the update, but all the latest innovations appear in the repo immediately.

In general, if you are bored, it is quite possible to try.

I am offended at pclinuxos. I am somthing ask at their forum and they baned me without any reasons. My nick is Procenko on pclinuxos forum.

Just leave it then. It doesn't make any real difference anyway.

I want to hope that after switch to OpenRC Devuan is will fast like Artix. Why Devuan is so slow compare to Artix for me?

Install openrc

These are emotions (my experience of forums since 2005).
By registering, we agree with the rules of the hosts, we don’t like it, what prevents us from creating our own and commanding?

But seriously, here is the size of the vmlinuz kernel 5.18xxx
OpenSuse 15.3 ( systemd ) 10.1MB
Devuan 7.2 MB
PCLinuxOS 6.1 MB.

In addition to everything suggested above, I can only add turning off rsyslog.
But the result of 1 ... 2% cannot be compared, for example, with the result when replacing a hard drive with the cheapest SSD.

Regards.

I am talking about responsiveness overall of system.

On Devuan now i using Trinity DE and its much faster than default xfce de. I have several DEs installed its can slowdown on my Devuan?

By why is Artix is so fast compare to Devuan? Boot time and ui responsiveness.

I had a browser setup just for pclinux forums, because it was so flakey (pc would generally fail to boot...

Well, well. Sad to say, but I also used pclinux for quite a few years and eventually I left because my computer would be hacked, broken, fail to start... corrupt bios... after a session at pclinux forums. (I haven't worked out how, I'm not hacking others) I always warn peeps about the trolls there.

I think there's some coward 7331's there who operate within the community only to destroy others efforts.

To all of those who know but allow it to continue, the future is yours, I hope you get your own back!

Anyhow, Devuan is a much better product.

I don't think having multiple DE will slowdown your PC. It's more abour running services.

Trinity is good and very battery effective, but its network manager can not reconnect (or I did not found) and not sure whether it supports pipewire and hdpi displays.

Devarch · 2022-11-16 22:23:51

To speed up devuan I've disabled anacron. Sometimes it slows down shutdown. You can disable FS check if it's enabled.
