Thank you very much! I eventually found the password (at that same page you mentioned) but was still stumped on the username. With your kind help, I am up and running!

I have been running Peppermint OS Devuan Daedalus on several machines in recent months. I have a new PC on which I would like to install the recent Devuan Excalibur release. I grabbed and verified the iso and made a Live USB to test on the new machine and to hopefully install there. The Live USB boots up to a login screen (very nice looking fox), but I cannot find or guess the proper credentials (username, password) to get past that point. I tried dropping down to the console and tried the same combinations...

Hey, thank you VERY much for the quick, thorough, and cordial response to my multilayered question. I now have a much better understanding of the PepOS release system. I really appreciate your taking the time necessary to be so thorough. Please forgive my tardy reply; I have been away from my offices for a couple of days. I have Peppermint Devuan (with runit) deployed on three machines at present, and have had no problems with performance or maintenance. I am drawn to the minimalism, simplicity,...

I have been happily using Peppermint OS Devuan on three machines since it first became available. In planning for the future, I struggle to completely understand the Peppermint "hybrid" rolling release schedule. Despite considerable research, I am not convinced I understand it well, and so am uncertain about how/when to upgrade. I have these questions: Peppermint no longer uses major release numbers, right? Peppermint issues application package updates on a rolling basis, along with selected system...

I have resolved this issue , but thought I'd post my results for the possible benefit of anyone else who might run into this issue with Firefox. There is no issue with firefox-esr's audio in PeppermintOS Devuan if you are running PulseAudio. But, if you are keeping things as simple as possible and don't need most of PulseAudio's server functions for you use case, you turn off PulseAudio and get great ALSA sound directly through ALSA. If you need to run multiple concurrent streams, or if you want...

I have several machines all running various Debian/Devuan-based operating systems, including PeppermintOS-Devuan-runit. Although each of these systems has either PipeWire or plain PulseAudio installed, I generally do not use either of these servers, as I have no need for the additional services and have always gotten along very well with good old ALSA. I am a music enthusiast, but have always been extremely with the sound quality and reliability I get from direct-to-ALSA. In PeppermintOS-Daedalus,...

I invested a bit more time on this today and discovered the following: If I make the ~/.xscreensaver file read-only (to keep it from changing), then open the xscreensaver GUI, the .xscreensaver file flips back to read-write and the dpmsQuickOff parameter flips to False. So I decided that opening the GUI somehow causes the Display Power Management parameter to go back to defaults, and you have to remember to reset them before closing it. Even better, I tried not using the GUI altogether. I edited...
