The problem here is there are many people who believe that they are doing the good simply by opposing everything.
#Linux is too big today to be solely maintained by people in their spare time. Even #Devuan takes many things from #RedHat and #EnricoWeigelt won't dismiss the previous contributions from corporations to #X11 / #Xorg. https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/12/the_price_of_software_freedom/
Stability, simplicity (flexibility and relatively lighter on resources).
I'm running #Devuan (stable) with bare openbox for a distraction-free desktop environment and server instances.
I did do a few manual configuration changes (wireless, nfs mounts to servers) but one can always install GUI packages as alternative.
Also, the testing branch has more recent packages and is still quite stable if need be.
Dos máquinas virtuales corriendo, un #Devuan como cliente, un #Fedora como firewall #nftables, con redirección de tráfico, #nat, para simular el caso real, y la imagen del esquema de red simulado.
Casi 10G de consumo de RAM para grabar una clase explicando cómo montar ese firewall en Fedora para que Devuan pueda hacer ping y navegar en Internet

Das schlimmste von meinem Wechsel von Artix auf Devuan ist, dass ich jeden Tag mehrfach mein System updaten will und es einfach keine Aktualisierungen gibt.

After trying various #Ubuntu #linux flavors on my old laptop with only 4Gb of RAM, I needed to find something lighter that didn't use up more than half my RAM, but I still wanted disk encryption and working hardware keys and trackpad. I tried #Devuan (I pronounce this Dev-one) and it is awesome! Super #lightweight and looks great. I only needed to add a tap-to-click config and install xfce4-screensaver, otherwise happy with the defaults.

Highlight of the class: the end.
I'm sympathetic to the #Devuan / #InitFreedom people, but it wouldn't be my first choice of thing to work on, especially since I frankly dislike systemd less than what it's replaced. However, #Guix is pushing forward #GNU #Shepherd, which actually seems to have merit beyond "not systemd"--have the #Devuan people heard of this? Anyone working on integrating it yet?
I have been a linux user for more than 20 years, and a Debian user for a good 15 years now. For the first time, I feel like something is off. systemd feels like a Frankenstein that does not belong. It makes the system feel brittle and vulnerable.
Perhaps some more reading is in order. But I am also starting to look into things like Devuan.
Thoughts? Interesting takes and links?
