Awesome sysV, no sysD, no more 1.5 min. hang ups! Clean simple minimal net install that includes wifi drivers I need (non-free?) Easy to install! KDE plasma 5.12 works really well with the Neptune repository (for up to date KDE) MX Linux repository adds nicely, no problems (previous review has the right idea) Easily installed Bumblebee and nvidia without a hiccup Everything I've done has gone without a hitch, just wonderful. I have been distro hopping a lot the past 6 months, played with some Arch, Manjaro, Suse, Fedora, Netrunner, MX Linux, PCLinuxOS, Maui, Neon, Calculate ...etc... But I've decided I like Apt and KDE, but aslo I don't like waiting for 1 minute and 30 seconds for systemD to finish shuting down from time to time. I also always keep a mxlinux on a partition for emergencies and tools, with it's sysVinit, awesome tools like mxsnapper, boot repair, etc.. however I can never seem to get a really solid recent version of Plasma on it (digging 5.12, not so much 5.8) and MX ends up quite bloated with KDE plasma on top. So I'm building my system upon Devuan, and it's going so smooth, really it's top notch, not a hiccup yet, perhaps I'm being premature but If it keeps going this way I'm going to be here a very long time... Great work on a solid distro. Is it pronounced Dev-one? Was this review helpful?

Everything ran beautifully and everything looked great using the xfce desktop environment. I am so extremly impressed with how it ran and what all was installed and the ease of installing things *I* want. I'm pretty sure I'll be installing this as a regular desktop on my dual-boot linux system (currently I run Slackware 14.1 32 bit on one drive...because it still uses alsa and makes my music sound and work correctly compared to the Slackware 14.2 with the useless 'other' thing for sound, the escaped abortion known as 'pulseaudio')...more than likely I'll be installing this over the Slackware 14.2 64 bit I currently use (the 14.1 32 bit is for backup and music). I'm not putting Slackware down, it's my one and only best distro yet, but Devuan has certainly caught my interest wiht this live version I'm playing around with! Was this review helpful?
