Dear All,

I have been using Devuan (upgraded from wheezy) for several months on my
desktop PC:

I am using XFCE as Desktop environment.
I use Gimp and imageJ for the occasional image manipulation work.
Keeping chrome open with dozens of tabs, toying with HTML and Javascript
(debugging).
I use an USB audio device (with pulseaudio from angband[?]).
LVM on a fast SSD and software RAID on big spinning disks for archives
(photos,music,movies, etc.).
I have never had any problem (except just after the upgrade due to removal
of Gnome, easily solved).

I have a small Home server also running since shortly after my PC upgrade:

NFS sharing, Minecraft server for me and few friends, a virtualbox virtual
machine (I know...., I am lazy....) running a webserver also on Devuan.
Sometimes I start an X server with i3 WM.
Software raid
Also never had any problem!
Uptime of months! (very low load though).

All of the above obviously SystemD free:
Devuan is fantastic!

I hope my showcase of uses helps people to abandon the dark side!

Antonio
