Sujet: Re: [DNG] Review of documentation needed
So, my previous test did confirm that Devuan Chimaera without D-Bus is
still possible using the steps on dev1fanboy's documentation page.
Note, I don't really have anything against dbus (yet), I'm just checking
whether this is all still possible for documentation purposes.
Also note, it may be *possible* to install some of these software
packages that "depend" on dbus, without actually installing dbus... not
sure what functionality would be lost though.  As far as adding new
recommendations to this list, I have none.  Maybe someone else who
actually uses a dbus-free Devuan can chime in.

The following list is from the "D-Bus free software" link at
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/dbus-free-software.html
