In 2022-2023, 3 administrative products gained prominence in Puppyland assisting users with 'at a glance' look at their systems without opening a bunch of applications. They were BTOP, TLDR, and NEOFETCH. The NEOFETCH author has posted that his project, which hasn't been updated in 3 years, is mothb...

I think most of us agree with fredx181 's comment of frequency of a development (team/person) for any given project. For example, EXTON's PUP excellent offerings he has built, where after deposit to the forum, has been visited rarely by him. That is not a negative, but some visitation frequency is n...

Additionally, I THINK, we should ALSO promote his Vanilla v11 I think we should NOT 'promote' early and incomplete development builds with many known issues, especially if the target audience is new users. So sorry for that support to get behind you. If one of your other WoofCE offerings is appropr...

Packages are a key part of any OS or distro. APT has a new contribution seen here viewtopic.php?t=11399

IIRC WoofCE is great pathway for this discussion as it offers 2 vehicles for new OR experienced members: An ISO-IMG as well as the Reproducible Builder (aka WoofCE). ALL here know that. wizard postulates 3 options and I agree with he and others of taking our newest and best to present on DW. I appla...

Testing KLA-HyprlandCE-1.1.iso downloaded from GIT, yesterday at 4:30 AM EST. Booted in a QEMU VM with following stanza: qemu-system-x86_64 -name "KLA-HyperlandCE v1.1 by Sofiya" -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 2048 -vga std -device AC97 -net nic -net user -rtc base=localtime -boot order=d -cdrom /m...

The 'bar' stands out very well. Nice!

Let's not overlook dimkr 's suggestion as that 'does' bring that distro build with Wayland into 2024 as it is a consistent direction of all major Linux distributions putting "Puppy Linux" right there in the arena that users, new and old to the community seek, They would gravitate to: moder...

Hi ALL ... BookwormPup64 could become so with some work.......... This suggests to me that the "next" Pup should be something different. I agree with both of these comments. Further, as I know the work is being done in the background on WoofCE GIT by peebee , rockedge , dimkr , radky and o...

Running the VM: Lets assume upon desktop your distro did not get a dhcp address from the host OR the one that was originally assigned is not what you wanted.

Question: Which?

Clarity

Hope this helps. ... MUST install everywhere in the home network.

I have booted and run 'live' the Ubuntu latest ISO file via Ventoy as well as SG2D. ... works!

bigpup I have reported this problem in a chart in another thread as well as further findings on the S15 thread. This need developer attention for ISO booting. I also provide QEMU findings that allow it easy to replicate. Hope this info is helpful. It is hoped that provided info is easily replicated...

ditto

As mentioned earlier on tis thread, dimkr ' Vanilla(s) is an great candidate. It ticks all the boxes for a PUP, in my book, just as BKWP64 offers.. And so does peebee 's two 64bit distros, as well. One of them is a carryover for 01micko 's "Slacko". Excellent feature set, constantly mainta...

I have doing this daily without issues.

This could be an option in cron; but manual is still fine.

Note.
Direct isobooting is easy/simple, but it is not possible for system update.

I have NOT found this to be true.

Can you explain?

Clarity

This will be interesting as such; much more Wayland/GTK4/QT6 improvements. Waiting to see what occurs for my old nvidia card PCs and how they will be supported.

Forum distros will react, as well.

Looking forward.

I have a new SSD on order arriving by the weekend. ALL of my recent USBs and my 2 SSDs came preformatted for exFAT. Now appears to be an manufacturer's industry standard. Since I am planning an upcoming BKWDog64, is there something at build time needed so that it is incorporated in the completion of...

Clarity

peebee you have echoed something a forum member helped me see when I first joined the forum, privately. At that time AND now, I completely agree with the need for the distro developer to "AGREE" to post his/their work and they have the responsibility insuring ongoing efforts and support. ...

Clarity

sonny I think I need to apologize for my posts as after looking over the thread, I think you are asking for something different than what typical developers here delivered for general use. I believe you feel that a general use distro is not a way to go. I am sure that even that perspective is not a...

Clarity

There is no bloat in forum distros. It is the creation from years of experiences in presenting a reasonable delivery.

None of what I have seen in my few years on this forum accounts to bloat. Developers are NOT floating bloat in forum distros, IMHO.

Can you give some examples?

Clarity

OK, on this test PC, I have found that I have overlooked this message in the past. It also appears when booting BookwormPUP64 v10.0.6. I'll need to check the other distros that have booted and saved their sessions on this rig. Its a old Xeon with 2 80GB SCSI HDDs setup back in the day when Windows w...

Thanks ozsouth After reading your find, this now has me questioning what exactly is the 'true' problem. I have sessions on the Persistence that dates back to Feb,2023 with sessions from Fossa, BKW, Fatdog, DevaumPUP, VoidPUP, KLs etc. Now, I am unsure how to proceed while protecting the integrity of...

sonny , I think this is helpful with most incoming or present members to the forum; namely a reasonably feature set of expected packages that are within the framework of PUPs of the past. Its a consistent delivery and addresses the majority of user expectations in a Linux distro. AS you may already...

A lot of real-time system behavior is reported via BTOP if available and added during GIT builds. Also, TLDR is welcomed for easy command use answers, again, if available during builds. Results of booting and operations in a VM posted here F96 v5a3.jpg . This is merely a comment to be helpful. If it...

... What are the system requirements for Puppy Linux? ... This a good question AND there is an answer that you may NOT have noticed: Almost or most of the distros developers on the PLDF forum indicate when announcing their distros the recommended or expected PC requirement for comfortable performan...

Hello Manessa :welcome: Sounds like you may be a Computer Science student or just new wanting to learn how Linux distros behave. In any event, I offer this in an effort to allow you to focus as your question is a good one. DEs come with much built-in prepackages and service and WMs affect what/how t...
