Making Internet Policy Make Sense—Your Multilingual Guide to the Internet

One of the biggest challenges in Internet policy work is that policy discussions are often not easily accessible to the wider public. In reality, every decision made at the policy level regarding connectivity, safety, affordability, or access significantly impacts how we experience the Internet in our daily lives, from the way we connect to what we can access and how our privacy is protected.

Devuan 6 “Excalibur” Released with Debian 13 “Trixie” Base

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Nov 03, 2025

Quoting: Devuan 6 “Excalibur” Released with Debian 13 "Trixie" Base —

Over two years after the previous 5 “Daedalus” version, the Devuan team has officially released Devuan 6 “Excalibur”, the latest stable version of the systemd-free Debian derivative.

Powered by Linux kernel 6.12 LTS and leveraging the new APT 3 package manager, this release is based on Debian 13 “Trixie” and inherits most of the changes introduced in Debian 13, while maintaining its own independent direction.

The main highlight is that a merged-/usr filesystem is now mandatory, following Debian’s policy. In light of this, users upgrading from Devuan 5 “Daedalus” must ensure they have installed the usrmerge package before proceeding.
