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
Thanks for the heads-up. I have not got to disk encryption on this machine yet, but I am about to resuscitate a laptop and network them, at which point I was about to try all kinds of fancy stuff. So this is good to know.
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.
