I may be mistaken but I think I saw somewhere that your are about 70 years old so probably there's not so much time left

This is not acceptable and certainly nothing I would ever direct at another human being no matter what Linux distro I loved or didn't. If direct action were not taken the ...

Well i see several personal attacks prior to the one you have highlighted.
Ultimately i found your attacks on puppy users rather sad and unjustified.
Paranoid almost.
But if you wish to continue then fire away...

This seemed to be where things went awry:

Unfortunately the couple of division ...

As for the 'trigger'. The trigger first personal attack comment made on this structure of forum thread seems to be the following one by a guy called amethyst, which was a thinly veiled personal attack per usual on me:

I suppose it will ...

Puppy Linux is the reason for this forum to be here in the first place, never forget that.

The first distro actually featured on this forum was FirstRib (which is why I'm a founding admin) - irrelevant tho. Try to keep your posts on topic if you can stop dreaming

Fuck off

amethyst

You should be thankful of having the opportunity to sail on the coattails of such a well-established and successful distribution like Puppy Linux. The way that you don't want to give Puppy Linux any credit at all is really disgusting. Puppy Linux is the reason for this forum to be here in the first ...

amethyst

I am not saying we need to change/amend anything, but to give hints to new users that do not know already the great reputation of our operating system that is worth to spend some time to know them better. The way in which this should be done is up to debate, mine are just ideas and opinion ...

amethyst

With that "toy look" (whatever that means), Puppy has built up a great reputation. We'll keep that well-established and well-known look ofr Puppy Linux, thank you very much.

amethyst

Puppy Linux is a great name and has built up an exceptional reputation over the years because of its excellence and place in the Linux community. Compare that to a dull nonsensical name like KL (Kennel Linux?) which brand still needs to be established (this takes time and effort and excellence ...

amethyst

The Board Index page looks nice now IMHO.

amethyst

The KL-section is already large and has the potential to become very large. I suggest the different distributions are grouped under a heading "Kennel Linux Distributions" like in the Puppy section.

@amethyst

Ahh lunch time! I'll move it after my visit to the boat ramp on the Housatonic River to eat a sandwich and have a coffee....be back in 30 minutes.

Look up the river and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks, I think it deserves a place there. Have you thought of changing the name of the ...

amethyst

Where exactly is the Jammypup stuff?

In the built from woof-ce recipes in the derivative section.

amethyst

@amethyst Oh no! Okay how can I fix that........ plenty of room for adjustments as you can see.

Lots of movement so bare with me and try a little encouragement.

By the way can't you take back Elon Musk to South Africa? He's a fraud

Well put it in the Puppy Main Section (although it has been ...

Free VPNs are always dodgy privacy wise (expect for proton VPN free which has of course big limitations).
But if you are using Chrome browser perhaps you do not value privacy that much? :)

No, never been one who is worried about "privacy" (whatever that means), haven't even been when I was still ...

amethyst

I've been using JammyPup32 for a long time as my daily driver but I see it does not even make the Puppy Main Distribution section but is regarded as a Derivative. Can this be correct?

amethyst

I've not seen any comment from EasyOs or Fatdog developers, so I guess they are OK with the current situation.
Exactly, I've already said this earlier that the developers of those distros have never complained about the positioning and exposure of their distros on this forum as far as I know ...

amethyst

indeed I need some convincing to convince me to stay - so you should have no worries there.

Nobody is going to convince you to stay. leave if you want to leave...

amethyst

I've downloaded this extension and it seems to work well, not too slow. It has free servers in France, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, UK and USA. Used it for a site in the USA which was blocked outside of the USA and it works well.

amethyst

Why is it that peebee's distributions aren't listed as official or true Puppys?

amethyst

I would have kept the heading of that section "Other Distributions".

And there in a statement is the main issue that works to prevent fixing the forum structure: there is no such thing as 'Other Distros' catered for by this forum's main discussions. There are just 'Forum Distros', which ...

amethyst

Why is the "For older..." category now in the Other Distributions section only?. Puppy not suited for these old computers anymore? Instead of making that heading spell out the names of the other distro's (which is named anyway in the section), I would have kept the heading of that section "Other ...

@dimkr would you mind making a text version (like Fred's) and posting it here so I can see it?

The "Other Distributions" section in distribution alphabetical order...

amethyst

Perhaps start with something like this for the "Distributions" part of the forum:
Distributions:
└── Mainline Puppy Linux Distros:
Subforums: Bionic, BookwormPup, DPupStretch, F96-CE, Fossapup64, LxPupSc, Raspbian Buster, Slacko, SPups, Tahr, Vanilla Dpup, VoidPup, Xenial,

Other ...

I see the kennels (KL) already have its place alongside Puppy in the "DISTRIBUTION" section of the Forum. Thus same exposure. Other distributions like the Dogs and EasyOS feature further on in a sub-section called "Forum".

As a user of this forum more generally and a longtime (from its start ...

How many unique users do the distributions combined presented on this forum have? My guess is fewer than 10000

This forum 2060
The old forum 27743

All this bickering about exposure and so on is a bit silly and laughable

That's all fine and good you see that way. How about something ...

How many unique users do the distributions combined presented on this forum have? My guess is fewer than 10000, a very small speck on the spectrum of desktop users. All this bickering about exposure and so on is a bit silly and laughable.
