I noticed that my Devuan system ran pretty well before I uninstalled other systemd processes. If not for these bugs (or whatever they are) that seem to be something new in Devuan, I was liking Devuan better than Debian. If it didn't involve breaking some rules and the risk of wrecking one's system, they wouldn't call it hacking. :-] Well, anyway, I have been hacking away on my own computers since about 1980-81; and when I briefly studied computer programming in the 1970s, it meant IBM punch cards. So I am not afraid of making a mess of things. It can always be restored. Thanks for this information, as it will help me find my way. I have a lot of Devuan packages that I've saved, but it's good to know what works for other people.
