But it is not Devuan. ;o) ..https://www.qubes-os.org/ is also not Devuan, but an excellent way to set up Devuan safely and securely in, er, these times. ..http://www.pclinuxos.com/ style gui is probably a good way to start set up Devuan for your clientele.

Your users has lived thru pretty bad times and _understand_ their need for _RL_ privacy, and will easily accept they need online privacy too, a fact you will find is handy when you are ready to scare them off their pirated Wintendos. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
