Not at all!

Devuan Alpha worked perfectly well for me, but not for the normal
people that use my iMac. They expect to click shutdown and have the
computer shutdown, no asking for passwords, no rebooting instead of
shutting down.
None of us on this mailing list are what the rest of the world thinks
of as 'normal people', we are sad-techie geeks one and all.
