Last time I tried Devuan must've been about five or six years ago. I didn't persevere with it then, but this looks like a major improvement and I'm keen to take it for a spin. I don't mind Xfce, but I'd normally use i3 with X11. With Wayland integration what tiling options are possible without too much fuss in Devuan5? Sway maybe?

I usually follow the Debian trends, whatever that may be, so I've never ended up on Devuan. I appreciate that they're keeping sysV alive in spite of the sea change.

I suppose you're right. Sway is the play on Wayland.
