Hi Ale,

I can't say for certain that Devuan has an Openbox package, but would
be very surprised if they didn't. The only distro I ever saw without
Openbox is CentOS, and, well, Redhat. In the very unlikely event that
Devuan doesn't have an Openbox package, I think it's simple enough to
compile yourself. And if somehow that were not possible, I *know* it's
pretty easy to compile ctwm, which can be made to be a lot like Openbox.

By the way, according to
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=devuan , all modern
Devuans have an Openbox package.

HECKNO! Openbox is the simplicity you use to defend yourself against
the creeping complexity with which in-it-for-the-money "free software"
organizations try to take control away from you.

Completely divorce yourself from Debian. They're proving rotten to the
core.
