Again, vampires and werewolves are some of my best friends. For what it's worth, my SSD got fried by a neighbor who blew the electricity for everybody nearby. The laptop still works, just haven't replaced the SSD yet, and don't know if I will until I get into better circumstances. These SSDs are very temperamental, as well as expensive, and the power grid here is reminiscent of a third world country, where everybody has hot-wired their homes to the same circuit, and everything keeps blowing out from overloads. However, I installed Devuan Daedalus with the Trinity desktop onto a flash drive, and run my system and do everything normally from that. I don't mean that I am running the system from a live image; I mean, I formatted the hard drive as ext4, then installed the Linux system to that, partitioned with root, swap and home directories. It runs fine, except maybe a trifle slower than the SSD was, and sometimes I get hangs. I may bring up the problem of hangs later, when I have more time to study on the problem, and to discuss it in depth. In my own experience, this probably would not be viable if I were using another desktop like KDE Plasma, or Gnome, or another resource-hogging desktop. Trinity is so fast and efficent that it boggles the mind; and even running my system like this, it's still faster and I have more control, can accomplish more, than if I were using some other desktop. Don't know if that's the sort of response you wanted, but I thought it worth sharing.
