Alessandro, you are not funny at all. Roger is one of the DDs who stood the systemd avalanche in Debian, and the first one to publicly support Devuan (please read https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/ to see what I mean). Roger took the time and effort to provide a first-hand explanation about the whats and whys behind early boot incantations. And his insight in this respect is precious and fundamental. I appreciate that not everybody might be interested in these details, but this thread is *exactly* about that, not about your own personal experience with this or that setup. On a related point: no, Alessandro, Devuan is not a Desktop-oriented distribution. Devuan strives to remain as a universal operating system as Debian claims to be. Devuan is currently used in a mutlitude of environments that include server farms, corporate and personal servers, embedded systems, personal devices, and desktops. So any choice Devuan will make has to take into account *all* the different uses of Devuan. We are going to provide the users with the choice of having or not having a merged-usr. This serves best the purpose of Devuan, and its commitment to guarantee as much freedom as possible to the people who decide to use Devuan. Those who think Devuan is not fit for their purpose have still the freedom to either contribute to Devuan and make it "better" (for whatever definition of "better") or to choose among a variety of other distributions.
