#devuan

I was so happy with having Devuan back on my laptop that I decided to see about getting it onto my gaming desktop. In the past I could never even get the installer to launch for the testing edition and it needed that or higher to work with a newer GPU. I was shocked and happy when it worked and I got Excalibur installed and running. Couple minor hiccups such as having to manually install Pulse Audio and the Fuse libraries so that app images and audio would work but smooth sailing otherwise. Got Devuan 6, Open RC and Mate powering her to go with the Z690 board that uses Dasharo.

Decided to redo my NV41 laptop this week. Went with an old favorite combo that fit like a glove. Devuan 5 with the libre kernel and OpenRC.

@insl Generally yes, but while you can package everything into a .deb, getting it accepted into #Debian (and I assume similar for #Devuan) is a different thing. There's a reason why the #UbuntuTouch @ubports people were super happy and proud when they managed to get Lomiri accepted into Debian; and it's that reason why GNOME Shell Mobile is not in @mobian (afaik).

Maybe Debian/Mobian contributors can chime in here :-)

Look at that: If you dislike systemd and like debian packages, but want Phosh instead of hildon (on Maemo Leste), Movuan has you covered:

Basically, that's a #devuan for your #PinePhone

Bryan Lunduke had a great video about Devuan.

Devuan is great for freedom of choice. During install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA.

The project's main website is here:

The project has a forum and a presence on the fediverse:

I use 3 browsers for different purposes: TorBrowser, LibreWolf, #FireFox After the latest events now I use #TorBrowser #LibreWolf and #Vivaldi

In my case for my #Devuan system I downloaded Vivaldi from the official site
https://vivaldi.com/ and then on a terminal I used the following command:

sudo apt install ./vivaldi-stable_7.1.3570.58-1_amd64.deb

Pretty simple uh?

@xuxxux It's the only software I compile manually on my #Devuan box to have always the latest version

Today marks 10 years since the first Devuan installation isos were released. @jaromil posted the "pre alpha valentine (secret love declaration)" announcement to the DNG mailing list:

So take a trip down memory lane and feel the love for the #Devuan team and our users and celebrate their dogged determination which has beaten the odds!

May the fork be with you!

The Devuan Team

@opensuse I used to be an #openSUSE #Leap user until it was announced that the distro will switch to an immutable system. Thus, I migrated all my #Linux machines to #Devuan 5 (based on #Debian 12 without #systemd). It's #stable and #rocksolid distro with great #community support. Never looked back

This week's donation went to a software developer that goes by "parazyd". They contribute to Devuan, darkrenaissance, and Maemo Leste among other projects.

They have a personal website here:

https://www.parazyd.org/

They have a profile at Github:

If you wish to help them financially they accept donations through Github as well as a variety of crypto options on their personal site.
