Devuan

Skipping to Devuan before systemd begins leaking my birthday/age to people who don't really need it, and who are not accountable to keep it safe.

Hi, I migrated to Devuan Excalibur from Debian Trixie and now I can't connect via IPv4 at all, everything forces IPv6 which makes all my webpages fail and unable to connect even within local network. I tried restarting using dhcpcd and dhclient but even when I explicitly turn off IPv6 it forces a v6 lease instead of v4. What can I do?

Get yourself in the mood with some Devuan swag 👕

Behind the menacing gates of systemd lays the path to init alienation. But no need to run! With Devuan, those bad spells have no power!

All proceeds go to the development of Devuan

Running the Devuan-PI Daedalus build from http://arm-files.devuan.org/ the difference with Raspbian and other ARM distros bugged by systemd becomes evident. Here we manage to run Pi_Hole v6-beta in less than 70MiB of RAM and below 50c temp on a RPi3-modelB 💪

Peppermint OS continues to stand out by offering an exciting new addition to its lineup. The lightweight, open-source operating system, known for its ease of use and resource efficiency, has just introduced a Devuan-based build tailored for ARM architecture.

This strategic move extends Peppermint OS’s reach, making it an even more compelling choice for users who prefer a systemd-free environment, especially on ARM devices like the Raspberry Pi and ARM laptops.
