Hi,

what was not working? A standard debian gnome install can be migrated
to devuan with minimal changes and the main features (desktop, network)
work with the exception of gdm3 which is a little problematic and could be
substituted by slim or lightdm. For inspiration you can take a look here:

Ciao,
