This thread reminds me of the reason I haven't been able to switch from Debian to Devuan on my server: LTSP support.  LTSP is a great way to run an X server on an older machine, with all the authentication handled by the server.  Haven't seen anyone mention it, perhaps because although it's in the repository, it doesn't work.  The build_client script fails, using the generic system option.  LTSP shouldn't be that hard to get working in Devuan, since it's worked for years with many various systems, pre systemd.  Thinking of filing a bug, but thought I'd mention this here.
I got my dad's machine and my laptop on Devuan, but stymied by LTSP on the server...

I can answer that. We all figure that someday people won't spout
uncommon and unagreed upon acronyms. But someday never comes.
