Dear All, I have been using Devuan (upgraded from wheezy) for several months on my desktop PC:
I am using XFCE as Desktop environment. I use Gimp and imageJ for the occasional image manipulation work. Keeping chrome open with dozens of tabs, toying with HTML and Javascript (debugging). I use an USB audio device (with pulseaudio from angband[?]). LVM on a fast SSD and software RAID on big spinning disks for archives (photos,music,movies, etc.). I have never had any problem (except just after the upgrade due to removal of Gnome, easily solved). I have a small Home server also running since shortly after my PC upgrade: NFS sharing, Minecraft server for me and few friends, a virtualbox virtual machine (I know...., I am lazy....) running a webserver also on Devuan. Sometimes I start an X server with i3 WM. Software raid Also never had any problem! Uptime of months! (very low load though). All of the above obviously SystemD free: Devuan is fantastic! I hope my showcase of uses helps people to abandon the dark side!
