-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 IMHO, an user who wants a very complete "easy/ready to use" desktop probably will go to Mac OS or to a distro specialized to be a desktop (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc.). The most part of Devaun installation will be server, because avoiding systemd on it, is not only a philosophical purpose. The people who will use Devaun as desktop, will be "power user" so the only important thing is to let the user choose what packages wants to install and not create a complete DE as default at the moment of the installation (like Ubuntu/Mind/Fedora does).
Ciao, Alberto P.S. I'm one of the firsts: I manage about 150 debian server installation without gui, but my two desktops are a MacBook Air with Mac OS, and an Arch Linux workstation with Gnome (and systemd, networkmanager, pulseaudio and all these horrible things). Franco, are you happy? ;-) Il 16/02/2015 1:44 pm, Didier Kryn ha scritto: > Hi folks. > > Considering Devuan is a major lifeboat of free Linux-based OS, I'm > anxious about its destiny and therefore trying to figure out who > is onboard, I mean the audience. > > 1) It is clear, by reading this list that part of us are mostly > concerned with servers. > > It is perfectly arguable that people involved in servers' > deployment do not want to dedicate time to tweaking a Linux-based > desktop. > > Macintosh is definitely for these guys, first of all because its > VM works like a breeze.
