I had an issue installing this and thought I'd ask in case I'm missing
something crucial. When I went to install to hard disk, the kernel
wouldn't install because initrd wouldn't recognize something called live
boot in /etc. I had to delete it and manually run mkinitrdramfs to create
the initrd image, then copy it to /boot and symlink to /initrd.img. After
this everything went OK, except that the sound system only included alsa,
no pulseaudio or oss compatibility (I've since added osspd and pulseaudio
for pavucontrol). I'm a long time Debian SID user, having had my own
systemd work around. I would autologin with a script called from
/etc/inittab (instead of the getty call), and was able to remove systemd
entirely except for systemd-udev, which is not really part of systemd but a
systemd-aware version of udev. However, I was having problems with Debian
packages not installing because they depended on systemd. I was
experiencing these same problems installing Trinity when I found Exe
Gnu/Linux, an overall great experience except for minor install issues,
including a huge font setting which made some of the buttons go off-screen!
I'm no expert and don't know how much more difficult it would have been to
install Devuan and Trinity separately on my own. A big difference I'm
noticing is that dbus is not popping up all over the place.
Hello!
After the installation noticed that Exe GNU/Linux was without the sound.
I managed to solve it by installing PulseAudio. sudo apt install pulseaudio
To enable PulseAudio go to menu/Multimedia/KMix, in Current Mixer select: PulseAudio.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Pulseaudio doesn't replace Alsa, it works with it, so you don't have to enable anything. But there is Pavucontrol (apt-get install pavucontrol) which allows you control of Pulseaudio and its enhancements of Alsa.

Ok I got it, thanks for the explanations.
