Systemd-free Linux Distro Devuan Releases Version 4.0 Based on Debian 11
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
The developers of Devuan GNU+Linux have recently released the latest stable version – Devuan “Chimaera” 4.0. For those who aren’t aware, Devuan is a fork of Debian that doesn’t use systemd but init as its software suite.
|
||
|
||
Let’s take a look at what this new release has to offer.
|
||
|
||
### Key Highlights
|
||
|
||
The latest release is now based on [Debian 11 “Bullseye”][1] and uses the Linux Kernel 5.10. As mentioned before, you have to choose between init systems – OpenRC, sysvinit, and runit.

|
||
|
||
#### Refreshed UI
|
||
|
||
A new bootloader screen and desktop theming have been introduced.
|
||
|
||
The release note states –
|
||
|
||
> Improved desktop support – virtually all desktop environments available in Debian are now part of Devuan, systemd-free
|
||
|
||
This means you don’t necessarily have to use the default XFCE as the desktop environment. As for desktop managers, gdm3 and ssdm have now been included.
|
||
|
||
#### Improved Accessibility
|
||
|
||
The installer is completely based on Debian 11’s installer. Thus, all procedures described in Debian’s wiki will apply here too.
|
||
|
||
You can now disable task-speech accessibility if you intend to install a console-only system and avoid unnecessary dependencies.
|
||
|
||
Lastly, you can successfully install a desktop environment without installing PulseAudio. The GUI or console installation sessions will use hardware or software speech synthesis instead. This also includes using a refreshable braille display.
|
||
|
||
#### Fixes and Updates to Certain Packages
|
||
|
||
Do note that wicd, the network manager, will no longer be available due to its dependence on the obsolete python2. Instead, you can use other alternatives such as network-manager and connman.
|
||
|
||
It had been noticed that newer AMD CPUs caused the system to boot to a black screen. To solve this issue, the release notes clearly mention the user to install the firmware-amd-graphics package from the non-free repository. The non-free repositories will be available during the install time.
|
||
|
||
If you’re upgrading from the previous release, Devuan 3 Beowolf, you may notice missing XFCE app icons. This can easily be solved by running a simple command mentioned in the release notes.
|
||
|
||
For more details, you can refer to their [official release notes.][3]
|
||
|
||
### Summing Up
|
||
|
||
Devuan 4.0 looks like an interesting release, especially for those who want a Debian-like experience but without systemd.
|
||
|
||
Users running the older versions of Devuan and those looking to migrate from Debian can head over to the [official website’s guide][4]. New users willing to give Devuan 4.0 a try can use the link below.
