qwestion2Hi slightly different question from main room: if custom Debian/mobian/pureos images were create for an arm device and work, can I just swap out its userspace w that of same gen devuan userspace from arm images. (Leaving original custom kernel, bsp and needed firmware debs/files?06:53
gnarfaceyea, almost certainly yes in that case07:03
gnarfaceon the x86 architectures devuan uses the same exact kernel pacakges as debian, unchanged07:04
gnarfaceon arm architectures devuan only uses custom kernels because debian upstream doesn't support those boards07:04
gnarface(and the selection is thereby limited by what volunteers have been able to donate and validate)07:05
qwestion2gnarface:07:09
qwestion2custom kernels because debian upstream doesn't support those boards: mobian kon pineph or pureos k on librem507:09

adhocqwestion2: if they have an eMMC for example, you can get the arm image that would match your CPU07:11
adhocand then mount the device and copy the files over the mounted volume07:12
adhocyou would then have to read up on how to boot your alternative kernel from that image07:12
adhocsounds doable =)07:12
