What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
Enjoying EasyOS 1.0 (similar, but different, to Puppy Linux).
Runs from a squashed filesystem (sfs), with a folder as the save area layered on top of that. Includes tools to make sfs copies of that save area, so you can use those to quickly/easily roll backwards/forwards to any desired snapshot.
Includes 'containers' (Xephyr and pflask (chroot, capabilities dropped etc.). So even though it still runs as 'root' (as per Puppy's), the root inside a container is heavily restricted - as good as a restricted userid. But totally avoids having to enter passwords (that otherwise could be eavesdropped).
Loads of things included in the core system, LibreOffice, Scribus, Gimp ...etc. (and lots of useful small utilities). All within a 400MB sfs (I remember the days when getting even just a libreoffice sfs to be much under that was a achievement).

OpenBSD -current running the new dwm version (6.2, with attachaside and this patch for the status bar), slstatus is showing the load average over the last minute, the battery charge level and the date & time:
The xterm on the left has vim open showing config.h for dwm, the two on the right are running top(1) & systat(1) (with the incomprehensible[1] "buckets" view).

Anyway the only thing we're really missing is your screenshot...
Does Enlightenment still pulsate? That always put me off.

5MB vmlinux, 12MB initrd.xz, with capabilities support (capsh), tmux, mc (file manager/text editor), sc-im (spreadsheet), lynx (browser), dropbear (ssh), fbcat (screenshot of framebuffer), fbpdf2 (pdf viewing), calcurse (calendar). All net connected with tmux loaded at startup.
Nice for quick bootup, and for routing all http/gopher/message boards/gaming through ssh (to sdf.org).
I used EasyOS 1.0 as the base (vmlinuz/initrd) that includes squashfs functions (so can mount and switch-root boot a main X/gui desktop if needed; Could even pull down the main squashed filesystem from a server before switch-rooting into that).
Nice for a change to 'browse' around without all the advert-bloat of javascript etc.
Personally I like to run tmux with a single window per program and I've set the prefix key to backtick (press it twice to print a backtick such as in a script (executable quote)). Others like to split a window down into panes and zoom/restore those as desired. I also have next tmux window set to F12 and new tmux window set to F11, as that sits better with mc that uses F1 to F10. Backtick is certainly better than the default tmux prefix key combination of ctrl-b IMO.
I've kept the modules lean, primarily just sky2 for my hardware ethernet connection. No sound modules included so playing videos/music isn't available. Adding sound modules would 'bloat' it to around twice the size.
initrd.xz was created with extreme compression (-e switch), which for the kernel to boot also requires the --check=crc32 xz switch/parameter (otherwise on bootup it crashes). Around a 40MB non-compressed initrd.

Devuan live ISO image:
No systemd programs are running at all, very impressive
I've made it a bit more pretty and configured the fonts correctly

It's a very nice distribution but I prefer OpenBSD for my non-systemd needs

Are you sure libsystemd0 is not installed? Or have Devuan finally managed to get rid of it.

I've just installed Devuan:
Code: Select all
root@shinken:~# apt policy libsystemd0
libsystemd0:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 232-25+deb9u8
Version table:

EDIT: the libsystemd0 package was installed with the kernel. So it is needed then.

It looks like they're going to be able to remove it for the next version.Head_on_a_Stick wrote: EDIT: the libsystemd0 package was installed with the kernel. So it is needed then.
Seeing as we're here... here's mine. I've had it installed for a week on my 'academic' laptop [Lysultra]. It's installed on an SD card, apparently the devs hadn't heard of anyone doing this before and didn't know if it would work, but there it is.

Obligatory XKCD link: https://xkcd.com/910/
Anyway, sysvinit was confusing the crap out of me so I've changed to OpenRC instead:
Quick question: what is the colour of the default theme for the Devuan desktop?
The Devuan forums won't let me register without answering that question and I've installed using debootstrap and built the system up from a bare console login so I have literally no idea
EDIT: nevermind, it gave me some more chances and I got the question right eventually.

Which one!What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
I toggle between three desktops, and also have a container (secure) desktop
The browser is a form of desktop unto itself.
