That is a good idea. Thank you. ... >> BTW, the upgrade was a disaster. I had to reinstall. I may be alone in >> having an Debian to jessie to ascii with KDE. It is not worth >> upgrading - just reinstall. I did forget one thing in my original email that might be a Devuan only problem: The shutdown menu in KDE now has suspend and hibernate options. However, they only appear after restarting the display manager. I was guessing it had something to do with dbus not starting early enough. However, changing the order of the init scripts did not fix it. I had to put a few lines in rc.local to restart sddm two times with a few second delay. That was ugly and I also wondered what else was not working as well as it could. So I then did the clean install. > > I upgraded on Debian just fine.

Devuan ascii /w KDE works fine from what I experienced. I use it on my main travel workstation running mostly kdevelop. I do not see any real improvement over 4. So I would delay the upgrade for as long as possible, which is my plan for my other workstation.
