I am not a beginner neither am I a 'veteran unix admin' so neither fish nor fowl.

My reasons for using Linux are technical of course - it's a better OS than the proprietary alternatives. But they are more political than anything else - fighting the corporate stranglehold that corporations have on all aspects of our lives. After over 10 years, Linux is still a challenge when I leave my comfort zone. Have mercy on the likes of me, please.

Maybe what Devuan needs is a 'sys admin' version (perhaps w/o a DE) and an 'ordinary user' version (with xfce and less complicated tools than vi as default).
