I too have been using Debian for over a decade, and I've come to rely on it, so
I hear your concern at having to "switch" to something new. But I don't think

Looking at the Wikipedia entry for Devuan -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan - it appears that the folks over there

once a full system is installed.

i'll be interested in what you find out.
can you clone your current partition and then try it out
and if it doesn't work then
I have a fresh install of Buster which is running MATE as the Desktop
Environment. It has taken me until now to get it working, without
messing up my current Stretch install on the same machine. The next
