Looks great! How well does Devuan run a daily system? Always been curious to give it a go but I've seen a few folks state its prone to breaking.

    It's pretty great. No different to Debian, aside from the absence of systemd. OpenRC is fantastic.

    Installation was a little tricky. The netinstall ISO is the only one that worked for me, and it didn't seem to like Ventoy. Other than that, though, it was smooth sailing.

    I'd advise against choosing runit as your init system, however. Unlike the other two options, it doesn't use /etc/init.d, so some third-party software (e.g. IVPN) throws errors when it tries to install a daemon.

    As far as breaking goes, well, I'll have to wait and see how this system fares. My other Devuan box seems to be holding up just fine though, so I suspect the reports of breakage may have to do with people making Frankendevuans (mixing systemd and non-systemd repos) or Frankendebians (adding non-Debian repos, such as PPAs).

    Pure Devuan's where I ran to, when life got brutally hard and I needed to simplify with something dependable. Did not disappoint. Old faithful.

    Even when now back to running complicated multi-distro systems, I still make sure Devuan's one of the cornerstones.

    Teal is quite a nice color. I love your setup
