Greetings from #Devuan! ;)

Managed to blitz NetworkManger removing unneeded packages, lol.

Thank goodness for rescue mode in the installer! 😄

@rl_dane Back onto linux for a while? Devuan is the no systemd debian distro isn't it?

@sotolf

Yeah, Devuan is Debian minus systemd (which you can still do manually by dropping into a shell during Debian installation, but this was easier. XD)

I'm still running Linux on several boxen. This was my CachyOS laptop, but I decided to hop to Devuan next.
I've got an OpenSuse SFF desktop and my work machine is vanilla Debian. ;)

@rl_dane Wow, that's a lot to keep straight in the head :p I'm having enough difference with debian/ubuntu/oracle linux (puke) at work and arch at home :p

But it's probably a good way to stay sharp :) Ah so BSD is still in the good graces :)

@sotolf

...with debian/ubuntu/oracle linux (puke) at work...

OUCH. Horricle gotta horricle. You have my sympathies. Heck RedHat has my sympathies, and that's a rare thing, indeed! 😆

But it's probably a good way to stay sharp :) Ah so BSD is still in the good graces :)

Well, having it is a hobby is definitely a privilege. :D

Yeah, the BSDs are still a lot of fun to mess around with. The other nice thing about devuan is that you still get eth0 and wlan0, not wlpskjksjdfkjsdfeieio942. 😂

@rl_dane Oracle linux is just rebranded redhat anyway :p probably with some oracle repos added, it's what the ERP company demands for their DB-Server, so it's what they got, not happy about it, but it does work I guess, we replaced a 2009 version of Open suse with it about a year ago :p So it's at least one that isn't really connected to the internet at least.

Well, having it is a hobby is definitely a privilege. :D

That I could think yeah, but at least it's a lot more productive than something like Haiku ;)

ah real interface names are nice, and then probably a normal way to configure them as well, rather than having to fight the systemd unit files :p

@sotolf @rl_dane could be worse than oracle Linux. Could be oracle on windows. 😳
@fedops @rl_dane Just thinking about windows hosted databases is kind of scary :p
@sotolf @fedops @rl_dane it is.
Scary is putting it mildly.
I do not know why anyone would want to run a database on windows.
@paul @sotolf or anything else for that matter.
