@mouldy The perception of "speed" is complex, depending on a lot of factors. You might try running some of the benchmarks in HardInfo. Also: wizard's rule #12 "All computer hardware is not created equal" wizard Ah but perception is everything. Just cause some test says one is faster in some ...

I was just wondering why the N3060 seems even slower than the N2840 sometimes. I think its the heat. BookwormPup on both. Its showing under 30C temp on the N2840. Literally twice that on the N3060. Yea even after the new thermal grease. Now luckily the converted Dell chromebook with the N2840 has ...

Ok, Puppy oriented frugal install of android as described in the mentioned ITSFOSS article which in turn is just manual way of doing what the Android-x86 RPM script does. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11557 I rewrote a manual way of frugally installing android that works with the ...

Got my pkt of four m.2 wifi to m.2 nvme adapters. $2.50 each this time since I ordered 4 but still the long wait for the slow boat from you know where.. Put one in the HP Stream along with a 256GB nvme ssd. Yea the youtube was right, you need rEFInd with the nvme driver to boot anything on the added ...

There is now a flatpak version. But by time you add all the flatpak bloat.... Still better off using that WINE5 appimage plus the windows version rollemup. Alas rollemup was not open source. So nobody can recompile it to run on modern systems. Well unless the original authors chose to do so. Thats ...

Oh just mention the 64bit version from here of sdlCC chinese checkers from here: https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=18561&sid=93af7871574d690e9c9ef16a4c1085a4&start=20 will run in bookwormpup64. You have to make three sim links to existing libraries to meet its needs, but it works. No ...

Yea unfortunately lot of the charity stuff isnt valued. The theory being if its free, how good can it be, especially if its "different". Honestly as phone centric as people are anymore, might be more productive to install PrimeOS or BlissOS, android maybe being even more familiar to people than ...

@mouldy Did you use the xlite W11 on the SGIN? Thanks wizard Yea the 24H2 Optimum "home" one, not the micro "elf theme" one. I had downloaded the official m$ version, all 7GB of it. But it was corrupted when I went to install it. Didnt want to download it again. I have limited monthly data. She had ...

mouldy

I dont know if she will be best pleased, stole some space on back end of the SSD and made a linux partition. MINT installer wasnt having any of it so just installed BookwormPup. Then added chainloader menuentry so windows will automatically start loading if Puppy isnt selected within 4 seconds ...

mouldy

Ok, on the windowsXlite.com site, there is a suggestion for a windows driver updater. There is a free version that works, but watch ever so closely or it tries to install bunch crapware. Anyway it did its thing and downloaded like 2GB of driver stuff. And it got the trackpad working Device HID ...

mouldy

I got the SSD for my friends SGIN laptop today. Easy peasy installing win11 except for that stupid trackpad driver. Ok I get to the format part of installation, no trackpad. Fine use a mouse. Then during installation with the assembling and installing files with the checkmarks stuff, guess what, the ...

For going into developer mode just once, you most probably just need to connect an external Mac type USB keyboard. Some keyboards come in 2 flavours: PC and Mac (like the famous Logitech MX Keys for example). Obviously this could also be a permanent solution in case you plan to use the laptop as a ...

Got the SGIN in mail today (yea on Memorial Day, who knew), but anyway wasted whole lot time with it. The 500GB M.2 SATA ssd is wonky. Gparted can see it and its partitions (it took long time to do so), but cant touch it. I put it in usb adapter and micro 11 could see it and I got that "Drivers ...

Puppy used to offer a full install option. Maybe still does and just hidden. Full install used to be suggested for very limited RAM computers. Then since few used it, nobody wanted to support it anymore so they hid it. I vaguely remember using very old Puppy like that on a P2 computer.... I played ...

@mouldy used lnxrouter script to convert my Easytether usb connection to ethernet What is this? Thanks wizard https://github.com/garywill/linux-router This is more elaborate version inspired by the older create_ap script. Create_ap only does wifi. Lnxrouter does everything. But of course is bigger ...

mouldy

Well she said the SGIN is packaged up ready for post office. I found a review on one of the SGIN listings on Amazon, that some guy said MX21.3 supports all the hardware on this exact model, so guess current MX23.3 support it too. And probably current MINT and even BookwormPup. Thats a good thing and ...

mouldy

I suggest making shortcut that just starts the viewer now that you found the CL command to do this. Its lot more pleasant than opening full app and then trying to make it just open a book to read. Its a big app that tries to do a lot of things.

mouldy

She hasnt got it mailed yet, but the driver thing is worrisome, so been looking more into that. https://www.techspot.com/guides/1714-export-old-device-windows-drivers/ Now if I can boot Puppy and mount the windows drive. Hoping its not too protected. I know after it became kinda popular using a live ...

mouldy

Just noticed, BlissOS is upto android 13 now though considered beta. Their android 11 and android 12 are considered stable.

PrimeOS still android 11

Android-x86 still android 9

Well I am getting an education in celerons. Friend of mine in neighboring state had her SGIN X15 laptop go fubar. With windows going into perpetual repair mode. Apparently common on these reading reviews. It has a Celeron N5095. Thats a new one on me. Apparently 11th generation celeron and a ...

Ok, that ITSFOSS article I kept harping on, well their menuentry doesnt work in Puppy generated GRUB2. So I found one that does and wrote instructions here: https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11557 This works cause I actually tried it, on a converted chromebook that Waydroid spun its ...

mouldy

Ok, on my latest converted chromebook a HP 14-SMB, found out Waydroid just didnt want to get me to android desktop. No idea why cause I have managed it on weaker laptops. But anyway It has a celeron 2955U processor and 4GB RAM. This is first computer with SSE4.2 that I havent gotten Waydroid to work ...

mouldy

Wish they would stop offering me these super cheap EOL chromebooks. They are kinda hard to resist. Must be an incredible surplus of them to sell that cheap. As long as keyboard works, dont find them particularly hard to convert via mrchromebox. Got another. HP 14-SMB which wasnt easy to get info so ...

mouldy

Well rainy day so played with it. Think the AMD E350 is officially dead. It did boot once and BookwormPup had too new of a kernel for the video card it used. Got this really low resolution screen with NO other options. But after that when I push the power button it flashes and immediately turns off ...

Ok, my old Sony stand alone dvdplayer went to electronics heaven last night. It owed me nothing. I was trying to remember how old, its at a minimum 15year old, I remember buying it new. Before it, I never had one go more than two year. To finish the movie, first tried the converted Dell chromebook ...

The iso of BookwormDog I created with Waydroid and Kindle app included, mostly to see if I could, I havent uploaded it anywhere. Probably should just make a new clean version if i am going to do it. i have quite bit experience with it now. Still considering. But read my thread I linked to in Debian ...

mouldy

@tosim Yes, I think I was at the point of trying to figure how to get the Amazon Kindle books for it. I need to revisit this again as well. Thanks, I'll let you know of my progress. @mouldy I looked at your link to do this as an Android device. I'm very inexperienced for all of this yet but still ...

mouldy

I am seriously debating just posting a remastered iso of BookwormDog with Waydroid and even the kindle app built in. I just dont want to maintain it and deal with bugs and such. Honestly I even tried it burned to a dvd and that works, not super well but does work, well on second boot, you do need to ...

mouldy

That older 1809 version 64 bit Tiny10 is around 1GB and will run latest Kindle4PC. And if run in a virtual machine, suppose way to go to get more functionality than WINE currently provides. The Kindle for Android app does work fine. Waydroid has a learning curve but works fine, used on BookwormDOG ...

mouldy

Here is one for version 2.05 from 7 years ago. https://github.com/eugenesan/azilink/releases This version is interesting in that its been converted to an Android Studio project. I played some with Android Studio. That is big learning curve, and didnt put lot time into it. Not sure how useful the ...
