Re: Does pmedia=usbflash for a usb pendrive saves it's writecycle?

FLASH, in my opinion, is not "optimized" for STORAGE. Hard Disk Drive is. I use SSD & USB flash only for o/s and apps. Things that I "create/edit/save/remove" are ALWAYS in mechanical media (and backed up in the cloud). That's why I firmly believe that 1. Puppy Linux is the BEST for flash (minimum ...

Windows updates are MANDATORY for both "Windows and software for Windows". If you disable the update, your "Windows and software for Windows" will experience "issues" sooner rather than later. Last but not least, Windows always knows how to turn it back on before you know it. Oh, and if you're also ...

Re: Featured Puppy Linux in a new article

Thank you for sharing, Andrey. It is very much appreciated!

As for me, Puppy Linux's pro is IMMORTALITY and its con is DANGEROUSLY ADDICTIVE.

The next in line is MX for its VERSATILITY and its fully dedicated customer service on YouTube who goes by the name of "Dolph" (Dolphin Oracle).

Re: Delete save icon on desktop

1. You can remove the “Save” icon but it may randomly reappear. Try assigning an “invisible” icon and change the “Save” label to a period character which color matches desktop wallpaper. 2. This worked for my BP64 before. Just try if it'll work with your FP64: - Save "~/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin" as ...
