  1. Looking at alternative light desktop environments as even trusty #Xfce seems headed down the slop abyss. Trinity Desktop (based on #KDE 3) is also using LLM code. Was reminded of Equinox, but looks like it hasn't been updated since 2014 :(

    But I guess that guarantees it's slop-free :)

    Looks like someone got it running on #Devuan a few years ago

  3. I noticed that signing in to Mastodon using 2FA didn't reliably work. Turns out my system clock was ~30 seconds behind that of the actual time (currently GMT +1 for me).

    On Linux distributions that have systemd, systemd apparently synchronises your system time with a time server automatically. However, I use Devuan (i.e. Debian but without systemd) so I had to do it manually.

    I used `htpdate` to set the time to a UK time server on pool.ntp.org like this:

    ```
    sudo htpdate uk.pool.ntp.org
    ```
    No need to reboot.
    It's now accurate to GMT+1 to within about half a second. :)

    Units is a great package for doing size and volume conversions, in the terminal.

  7. @Willy_Wuff Es gibt gute Gründe, #debian abzulehnen, z.B. Umgang mit Lizenzen (> dann #devuan), Aktualität (dann vllt. #SuSE oder #Fedora) oder Fokus auf Gaming (dann vllt. #cachy oder #bazzite).

    Für alles andere gibt es einen Grund, warum #Ubuntu, #Mint u.ä. darauf basiert.

  13. I am upgrading Devuan 5 to Devuan 6 on a customer's laptop.

    He's been happily using it for the last couple years.

  15. Bei nem Upgrade von #Devuan auf #devuan6excalibur dem Wunsch nach #kdeconnect nachgegangen und #DevuanKDE frisch installiert.
    Aber sämtliche Probleme (die ich vorher mit dem #cinnamondesktop unter Devuan nicht hatte): Soundkarte läuft nicht, der Appstore Discover liefert keine Zusatzsoftware, ...
    Auf dem ThinkPad lief doch sonst alles unter Devuan bisher.

    Verzichte ich nun auf KDEconnect oder wechsel ich zu #Debian?

  17. LXQt on Debian-based distros usually use xfwm4 instead of openbox. So increasing the number of workspaces can be done from the command line instead of a GUI setting.

    xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count -s 8

  18. A put together a very .... quick Containerfile to build #debian / #devuan packages in a Podman container, so as not to pollute my system

  20. #Gnu #linux #devuan
    Habilite el repo backports en devuan 6 excalibur y migre el sistema a esa rama.
    Ahora el sistema corriendo con el kernel 7.0

  22. I have installed the LXQT version of Vendefoul Wolf Linux on a ThinkCentre Tiny M700.

    My first couple attempts to install were unsuccessful... but I now think that is due to me trying to use the "disk encryption" checkbox in the installer.

    After just about a half hour of getting used to it and making a few adjustments to the keyboard shortcuts and settings, I am quite happy with LXQT.

    It is quick and light and has most of core features that Cinnamon desktop has.

  24. I'm having a weird issue with this on a ThinkCentre Tiny.

    It boots but the last message on the screen is:

    SGX disabled by BIOS

    And then it hangs and doesn't go any further. From the research I have done, the SGX is a warning and not the cause of the freeze. Something else is, but that doesn't get a message on the screen.

    Anybody else run into this issue with Debian or Devuan based Linux distros ?

  26. I just downloaded the .iso for Peppermint OS - Devuan edition:

    I plan on testing it on an underwhelming little white Lenovo laptop with only 2GB memory (RAM).

  30. Felicitaciones a PINE64 por Movuan, un proyecto prometedor para Linux móvil y para quienes buscan más libertad, control y privacidad en sus dispositivos. Su base en Devuan lo hace muy interesante para el mundo del software libre y los teléfonos Linux. Ojalá pronto veamos un nuevo teléfono más potente y funcional, pensado para la comunidad y para seguir impulsando este ecosistema.

  32. Kurz: Es muss zunehmend gegen das system (bzw. #systemd) gearbeitet werden, damit das erwünschte / vorherige Verhalten erhalten bleibt. Ich dachte nach Debian 12, dass ich systemd nun weitgehend "gezähmt" habe und damit zurecht käme. Aber nein, es werden immer weitere Dinge eingeführt, die mit vorhandenen Workflows brechen, weil irgendjemand bei RedHat oder woanders sie ganz toll fand. "Disruptive Technologien" im schlechten Sinne eben.

    Ich werde nun eine Migration nach #Devuan wieder verstärkt ins Auge fassen und mich gleichzeitig mal wieder mit #FreeBSD beschäftigen.

    I'm doubting it. We've already got #Devuan, #Antix, #MXLinux, and #LMDE.

    If anyone's gonna "SALLY HO, ROCINANTE!!" on slop, it'd be one of those guys, and I honestly don't see it happening, sadly.

    A handful of folks will hold back versions as long as possible, a handful of folks will do stuff like using tar instead of rsync, a good number more (like myself) will kvetch about it, and we will all clench our butt cheeks until the code kipple consumes everything and we start over with Commodore 64s or VAX clones or something.
