I have been running Devuan jessie on my desktop since the first Alpha was available. I also run it as my production desktop at my workplace where I manage Linux servers and write software. This means I have a wide variety of software installed on my desktop to do everything from filling out "TPS reports" (LibreOffice), to Email/Web/Caldav (Firefox, Thunderbird, Lightning), to various IDE environments (Android Studio, Eclipse) Devuan works, and works surprisingly well. I've had more downtime on the Ubuntu 14.04 servers running simple LAMP stacks in the last year than I've had on my Devuan desktop loaded with all the heavy application software. Another good reason to give it a try is the community around this mailing list. It's one of the best behaved I've ever seen and seems to consist of a wide collective of experience. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
