With all the recent discussion about DEs (Cinnamon, Gnome, Mate, etc),
I just thought I'd throw this in here...
For the longest time, I simply used a window manager. In the
beginning, it was FVWM, but later I took a liking to IceWM. As opposed
to a full-blown Desktop Environment, I liked the speed and simplicity
of a window manager.
The only drawback is that window manager doesn't seem to do
automounting of plugged-in devices. I went looking for a solution, and
found this page:
https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Automounting
It says, among other things, that udev can be configured to handle
automounting. That's nice, but since systemd has polluted udev beyond
repair, I'm wondering if Devuan can be set up to handle it better,
perhaps with vdev. Or is there a better way?
I believe that people who are opposed to systemd are similar to me -
we prefer simplicity over complex solutions, and are not impressed by
bells and whistles. Thus, I think people who are attracted to Devuan
would be a good market for a simple desktop based on IceWM.
Just something to think about.
Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Hi Robert.
One thing I like with DEs is that they can show/hide icons of the
pluggable devices, as they are inserted/removed and I can decide to
mount/eject them in a mouse-click. Automounting, and even more, may be
desirable in some cases, when automation is desired - eg plugging the
backup disk - but in the general case I prefer to decide myself.
