Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@FloraMae you made me blush.
I wish I were younger...

@JusGellin

I'm not sure if calibre can help...

Download (and update) from terminal:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Personally, I never believe in 'never'.
What we don't know is far more than we know.
So when I see a good ad/info, I always respond, "Good to know."
And it's always better to help the economy than never, ain't it?

As an audience, I see ads as info.
Information has three flavors:
- good (useful)
- bad (useless)
- none of the above
I don't want to block the info.
I prefer to be selective.

Note: Last time I found a good deal from a YT ad

@JusGellin, have you tried @OscarTalks's pet?

@melodie11

Someone or some of us will get back to you shortly.

@dimkr, tasting your retro flavor feels like wine tasting.
Adding "Libfuse2" proves to make my system intoxicated.
I think I should take the vanilla one (non-WL). I feel like
sipping wine with a hot girl who goes by the name of
Miss 'Moderation'

Dim, I've been tasting your vanillas over the last three days for the first time.

Quick questions:

1. Retro vs. others: what's in the 577MB (891-314)?
2. Retro does not run ".AppImage"? (at least for LibreWolf here)

Cheers

Surfshark works with MX Linux

"MX Linux ships with systemd present
but sysVinit is the default init system."

It's under 'BookwormPUP', so if I did NOT specify
(with min common sense and context) anyone
here will get it straight away, biggie.
It's ALL variants!

Thank you, @OscarTalks.

Surfshark VPN works just fine with Bookworm-based distros:
- BLL Boron
- Mint
- MX
- wattOS

Thanks, Jasp.
@dimkr
Surfshark also won't run in VanillaDpup 10, any flavor.

What specific version of BookwormPup?????????

I knew you're gonna ask this question, Biggie.
The latest one indeed.
But cheers for asking btw.

I tried installing Surfshark VPN:

curl -f https://downloads.surfshark.com/linux/debian-install.sh --output surfshark-install.sh
cat surfshark-install.sh
sh surfshark-install.sh

but it failed to run.

Any enlightenment?

I don't use most apps preinstalled with FossaPup64-9.5 but ROX, Terminal,
Palemoon, mpv, mtPaint, Geany, and PPM. I only install what and when I need.
I just want an 'everyday' car, not 'James Bond's' car.

i.e.
BookwormPup32 + full list of pets (and dependencies) to download separately.
BookwormPup64 + full list of pets (and dependencies) to download separately.
No unused or useless apps (minimum bloat)
There is no one-size-fits-all.

Moving forward, can we design a modular BookwormPup that
is barebones, OS-only, but has a large number of drivers?
Just like this modular PSU, just 'plug in' or install the apps
we NEED.

Dogs and Puppies love bare'bones', don't they?

If you are planning to buy a new monitor, get at least:
- IPS
- 75Hz (60Hz is SO outdated these days)

*As you age, you may prefer a higher-quality monitor
over a faster CPU or bigger storage

Just tried out 10.0.6...

After opening a drive, closing it, and reopening it...

Any enlightenment?

To kill two birds with one stone...

Don't forget to clean the old/dry thermal paste on your
CPU and heatsink, then apply the fresh one
