Running the Devuan-PI Daedalus build from http://arm-files.devuan.org the difference with Raspbian and other ARM distros bugged by systemd becomes evident. Here we manage to run Pi_Hole v6-beta in less than 70MiB of RAM and below 50c temp on a RPi3-modelB ๐Ÿ’ช

Peppermint OS continues to stand out by offering an exciting new addition to its lineup. The lightweight, open-source operating system, known for its ease of use and resource efficiency, has just introduced a Devuan-based build tailored for ARM architecture.

This strategic move extends Peppermint OSโ€™s reach, making it an even more compelling choice for users who prefer a systemd-free environment, especially on ARM devices like the Raspberry Pi and ARM laptops.
