Exactly. The OP (Original Poster) prioritized having Gnome3 over
everything else, so I'm sure he'll be quite happy remaining in systemd
land. John --- the list suggested Mate and several other wonderful
WMDEs to the OP, but he demanded his Gnome3, which is unlikely to ever
appear in Devuan because the chance of finding someone having both a
love of Gnome3 and the tech chops to depoetterize it is slim.

Which means this thread has outlived its usefulness.
