When you say "root shutdown unclean": How do you shutdown, and what are you
seeing?
If my opinion, at least on my own machines, Devuan works far better than
Debian ever did for me. Yeah, they run about the same; except that Debian
would hang sometimes for hours, and I would be stuck here like a fly in a
spider web.

FWIW, I am running Devuan Jessie with Trinity
R14.0.6. Most of my issues
have disappeared since switching to Devuan (and prying myself free of
systemd). I recommend the netinstall disc, for me it worked better than
their DVD.
I truly hate to say negative things about anything, but as an FYI Devuan
had/has a bug with unmounting LUKS root partitions (and possibly all
encrypted partitions, but I didn’t test for that after seeing root shutdown
unclean) which will eventually cause file system corruption. If you’re not
using disk encryption then this doesn’t apply and Devuan works basically
just like Debian.
Best,
Michael
