Converting my dev laptop to https://devuan.org/ - Debian fork minus systemd.

Going well so far...

I think it's about time I ditched Arch Linux for Gentoo. Arch has gotten easier and I've gotten bored with it. Once I've settled to Gentoo, I'd have Void Linux scratch my "Arch Linux" itch

I mean, I've already explored Linux distros with different inits. I don't think anything can stop me when I have Arch, Gentoo, and Artix wiki handy

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

Let's Free This NAS From Proprietary OS And Put Devuan Linux On It

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?

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

So, from my notes:

#voidlinux: symlink a service's name from /etc/sv/ to /var/service to enable a service then sv up & down will become available for that service.
#chimeralinux: dinitctl, kinda like systemctl
#devuan: update-rc.d <service> default to get it on the runlevels, then enable/disable to do fun things. Only do update-rc.d remove when the package is removed from the system.. Gotcha

Just gonna explore Void Linux and probably other systemd-less distros on stream. There's not much that's gonna happen, probably just reading documentations and stuff while playing around with these distros.

Der Midnight Commander (mc) hat mir mal auf F3 auf ein JPG dessen Exif-Daten angezeigt. Das macht er jetzt nicht mehr. Die Suchmaschine will mir nur zeigen, wie ich die eigentlichen Bilder anzeigen kann. mc.ext.ini hab ich gesagt:

[jpeg]
Type=^JPEG
Open=/usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh open ALL_FORMATS
View=%view{ascii} /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/image.sh view jpeg

(gefunden in https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053150)

Das Paket identify habe ich im Repo allerdings nicht gefunden.

Wat will der von mir?

Devuan Daedalus, alle Pakete aktuell.

I think I've become spoiled and/or too accustomed to #Systemd, because last Thursday I tried to switch my home server (an old netbook) from #Debian to #Devuan and I failed miserably. Not because it was too difficult, but because it was... tiring.

See, like many #Linux users, I like to mess around with computers and learn new things, but at this stage in my life I have other things to think about instead of configuring #sysvinit and learning again how to set up a service to run without login.
