devuan "ascii" live -- impresssive

A couple of shots from the live session of Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 "ascii":



The live session is as nice as any I've ever seen, and I think it's actually better for my purposes than what has been up until now my favorite distro for live sessions: MX Linux. Ships with Xfce, Firefox ESR, the full LibreOffice suite, GParted, Synaptic, GNU Image Manipulation Program, VLC media player, and much more. I found that sudo works by default from the live session when I installed inxi with the sudo apt install inxi command. I even like the black and gray default theme! No problems accessing the partitions on my hard drive from the live session. Very quick and crisp with everything I tried on the desktop.

Looks like a very polished release. I'm impressed.

good essay

Worth the read: "The importance of Devuan: A Sunday morning essay", by Nico Schottelius, CEO of ungleich glarus ltd.

As for my take on the systemd controversy, I'm still in the same place: Keep running Debian and Arch, wait and see how things play out. One of these days, I might actually get around to installing Devuan.
