You missed the part where Devuan needed to be reinstalled after 38 minutes of installing.

Because you somehow managed to skip adding any repo that you could use to install from the internet? OK, retard

Wrong, but by all means, speculate more. Just shows how witless you are, how desperate for a W. I've got the whole 38 minute install video sitting right here.
Edit: Attached. By all means, tell me what I did wrong. (Spoiler: I said "Yes" to "Scan extra installation media?" once, oops. It told me it had registered it already. Network was up, worked fine, installer downloaded from it.) It's not like I haven't installed Debian a bajillion times, using it continuously since 2007 and installed Armbian-x64 on my laptop like a month ago.

I've had my arch et al install for like 5 years at this point. If I had debian et al I would've been forced to reinstall for new release once or twice already. Just sayin'

So, it ejected the CD so you could put a different CD in, just put it back in. For a USB stick it might have found it again if you unplugged and replugged it, or not, just go to the command line and remount it. Probably a 15 year old bug opened in some repo saying "don't do this"
Why would you have to reinstall?
It's very easy, https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html it's only like 20 pages of instructions.
And you do typically get 5 years if you switch to LTS.
Personally I just ignore upgrades until there's a good reason. Like Octoprint dropping support for Python 3.8.

Uh, asckually sweaty I said "debian et al" and was in part referring to MX linux
Maybe if they spent more time on an upgrade path and less time botting their distro watch rank this wouldn't be the case.

Nope. There was no eject. You can see that the iso is still mounted in the console at 36:56. I fucked around in the console for a while trying to see if I could do something that would make the installer finish, but no.

How the fuck did you even find this? This guy literally barely meets the qualification of "dozens" of subscribers with 26. How or why did Enrico even end up doing this interview (he says he's been completely swamped since he forked Xorg)? Truly bizarre.
So I listened to this and honestly between Enrico's bad mic and his accent it really feels like der Furher is talking about FOSS from the 1930s. He even jokes about writing a book and says it might be time to move into management. Jokes aside it was interesting and it sounds like Enrico is the one sane man in FOSS development (the host didn't add much). Also why is a german named Enrico?

There are quite a few ways to bridge Discord with an IRC client, that work, but they are all really clunky.

This is how it looks to install xlibre on artix. You don't even need to add a special repo. I realized I hadn't done it yet. Video is sped up by dropping duplicate-ish frames. I didn't crop, so you get my seconds-clock in the top-right so you can see how long things take. Left three numbers in my slstatus are various temperatures if you're curious. Bonus features include me forgetting how to pacman and some other miscellaneous fuckups/features. Enjoy.

Turns out there's a problem with the version of Xlibre on the AUR as it's created by a third party that is negligent to the point of sabotage. They're trying to gain control of the repository but it seems to be difficult to find the person and get them to give up the keys

Can you elaborate on this? I'm looking over the two PKGBUILDs and I'm not seeing anything particularly sus, but I'm not the most learned on xlibre's build mechanics.

as @SCV mentioned redhat-adjacent and thus kinda annoying.
if you want a (somewhat) bleeding edge kde distro without arch autism or veering too close to footfaggotry from redhat which "just werks" (ymmv) I can recommend opensuse tumbleweed.
it's somewhat overlooked and sure the people in charge are leftards, but that's kinda unavoidable these days. just cuck them by using their software without them able to do anything about it.

Slow build and shit like recursive dependencies. Apparently if you check the comments for the packages everyone is posing how to unfuck the packages, something that is unnecessary for the Xlibre repository version.

after reading and thinking about it. I think im going to uninstall most of my games on windows and then consolidate windows to as few drives as possible.
This way i can make a windows VM and do my 3d modeling in that without needing to reboot.
So for passing a gpu through. I know you can do this with single gpu but will that cause issues? I do not think i can fit another gpu in my case. My main gpu is big and beefy as is.
Also I think its time to finally get around to building a storage PC to have backups on. So ima need to look into that.

Buy a Chinese N100 NAS board, stick it in a case with lots of HDD cages, buy a bunch of 12TB Toshiba N300 drives (twice as many TB as you actually need plus one, set them up in a ZFS RAIDZ1 pool), install the biggest DDR4 SODIMM you can find for memory, a basic M.2 SSD to store the actual operating system on, then install a decent stable Linux distro, and set up an SMB share. This gives decent performance, and some redundancy. If you also use ZFS on your desktop you can easily set up a systemd service to send incremental backups of your pool, otherwise you can use any number of NAS backup tools. If you want the N100 iGPU is even capable of hosting a jellyfin instance, so you can use this computer as a media server. You’ll want a GPU if you plan on letting others access the jellyfin also, but for a single user the iGPU is sufficient.

i have a second pc built from old parts. quite a capable one. I was thinking of throwing a bunch of drives in it and then installing a good nas software. I will need to lookup and see if i can still buy the extended hdd cage for this case. I know it existed but the case has been retired afaik.
If i just uninstall all my games i dont have that much to backup tbh. Wouldnt need too many drives. Honestly i could get by with 2 12tb drives with one being for redundancy.
2 12tb drives running in raid 1? so they are just copies of each other? would that work? or should i do something else?
also. the 12tb drives are backordered for like 2 months lol. might get a different size

Yeah that's why you would not use MX Linux. I have not read any Debian upgrade documentation in a decade, unless you count looking to find out what the new release codename is. You just update the release name in the sources.list/sources.list.d files, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, then restart. If you're a pussy you could back things up beforehand.
I would try to reproduce it if I didn't just use the net install version every time. How did you manage to get to that point without adding a web mirror?
