What Rick says is true. For my use case, Void is better than Devuan.

But I have a wife, a son, and two daughters, and my life is much easier
with them running Devuan.

And there's something else. The Devuan project has soul. Just look at
the interactions, the accomplishments. It's like being a soul singer in
Detroit in the 1964, like being an outdoor roller skater in Venice,
CA in 1979, or starting up a website in 1995: Right place, right time,
the best people.

If, by hanging out here, I can in some little ways help the cause,
that makes me very happy.
