Wanted to be the boss of all init systems, ended up as an office suite: systemd-resolved, systemd-oomd, systemd-logind, systemd-sysusers, systemd-homed and more mess in logs, tmp files, mounted volumes and soon boot loader! Egomaniac, or simply deaf?

Devuan has survived because its community keeps it independent.
We just updated our donation reports, and this year we are below our usual mark. Help us build the minimal reserve needed to keep Devuan running under all circumstances.

Old but gold: Maemo Leste is a mobile OS based on Devuan 3 (Bookwork). It still works very well on supported devices, among them Nokia N900, Motorola Droid 4 and Bionic, Pinephone, Pinetab and Allwinner tablets. Here is a recent showcase of a slick setup

Most excellent! Really pleased with LCOS 0.5.
Definitely my favorite distro to use at this point.
Huge thanks to the @DevuanOrg team for making such an outstanding base platform to build with!
I reinstalled LCOS with 0.5 beta. 1:40 seconds install.
Yes, more polished. 👍
I really like direction this is headed. It reminds me of what I originally liked about Linux in the mid 2000s. 🎉

Devuan keeps inspiring new projects.
Spaced Linux, rolling distro based on Devuan Ceres, is now featured on Slashdot.
Great to see another project embracing choice, independence, and the joy of building something new.

Devuan removed /etc/machine-id in 2019 because we knew.

Any project competent enough to ship a distro either knows what undeclared user tracking enables, or is useful to those who do.
Those who knew and lied should be held accountable.

We did predict this such a long time ago that most links are dead
slashdot.org/story/364072 😅
but please know in Devuan we do not allow /etc/machine-id to track our users.
tfw you laugh at idiot Microsofty lusers being globally tracked by the NSA because their GUID is hardcoded inside their TPM, but then you suddenly remember Linux also has /etc/machine-id and you forgot to setup your init daemon to periodically truncate and regenerate a new machine-id so you can't also be tracked because you are pretty sure that Chrome is reading it and sending it to Google as harmless "user telemetry analytics."
i stand by my claim that mf'er asshole Lennart Poettering really is the NSA's man on the inside on a mission to destroy Linux and install the NSA's backdoors through all his systemd slop

Fantastic video that explains everything related to the loss of freedom and sovereignty when you let others decide for you. I recommend watching it to the end.

@DevuanOrg with Openbox wm runs great and uses very low RAM 248 MB idle on an 8 GB system (cold boot). It stays under 420 MB even after opening and closing apps.

Did you know the second #Debian leader after Ian Murdock, @BrucePerens, prefers to run Devuan?
In an appearance in Slashdot, he said that our distro is engineered how he would have decided to make it & that it is efficient and trouble-free.

#XLibre 25.1 Series Feature Highlight
We added the #seatd support authored by #Devuan. It can serve as an alternative seat management solution in #systemd-free distributions. To learn more about seatd and its seat management library, please visit sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd.

@DevuanOrg rocking in the art production pipeline.
This was a recent install but will be moving to #Xlibre as soon as I have some time available.
Standard cross-distro settings for color management, screen and pen calibration, multi-monitor setup. And, on the toolkits that support it, proper fractional scaling.
I even managed to get per-monitor scaling on my terminal (ST).
🇬🇧 This is taking forever, but I think it’s turning out pretty well. What do you guys think?
🇯🇵 気が遠くなるほど時間がかかっていますが、いい感じになってきた気がします！どうですか…？

@vendefoulwolf, a distribution that unites the experience of @debian (grandfather), the strength of @DevuanOrg (father), and the youthful energy (child). This is how the lessons of self-control, freedom, and privacy are forged. Creating and learning while looking to the future.

systemd timers: because nothing says “modern init” like a job that can be enabled, active, logged, boot-aware… and still not have done the work.
Systemd timers can fail quietly while your server looks healthy.
If backups, syncs, or cleanup jobs matter, monitor completion — not just uptime.

Devuan on the factory floor: a Raspberry Pi gateway in Barcelona, linked with 12 others across Europe for the LAUDS EU project.
Quietly doing the work in production: stable, lean, reliable, and free from unnecessary complexity.
It just runs.
