 Log-in
at cLi level |
don't know enough about Devuan yet, I suspect the cLi level login and X start are NOT available | Simple &
conventional cLi level login and X start are NO LONGER
available, systemd commands are, but they are neither. |
| Log-in at cLi-level and start Desktop-Manager of choice to start desired GUI (window & mouse) system |
xwmconfig to chose DM then just do startx to start DE? |

then starts a DE (GUI window & mouse system i.e. "X") |
