> Both Armbian and Devuan have their own toolchains for ARM boards and both have fatal flaws: the former is locked to systemd-based distros, the latter has poor support for ARM boards.

Isn't it possible to improve Devuan's toolchain so that it better supports ARM boards?

And, for that matter - isn't it possible to do the same for Debian itself, so that the delta to Devuan would inherit decent support for ARM boards?

I'm not a toolchain expert, so an answer with links to explanation of relevant concepts/jaron would be appreciated.

Regardless - I'm always happy to hear news about widening adoption and influence of Devuan. I believe a non-systemd distribution is the way to go and am glad Devuan offers that for the Debian space (while Debian, unfortunately, forces systemd on you and it's not just an option).

Everything is possible, the question is who will do that. I'm not an expert in anything either. Both toolchains make me depressed. But I'm glad I can run Devuan on my boards at last. Many thanks to both projects.
