Devuan has all the software that's been re-compiled to work without
systemd. So, not everything is there, but it's quite functional.

The biggest things I'm missing are

1) the KeepassX v2 client (KeepassX v0.43 is available, but no longer
compatible with my DB which got upgraded on other PCs)

2) the Nextcloud sync client, but that's not in the Debian repos
either. There are instructions to compile the Nextcloud sync client
from source, but I haven't done that (yet).

The Devuan box is just a trial. I'm using it as my Podcast server, and
as a third screen for my laptop using Synergy. It doesn't get much of
a workout.
