GPT, not MBR ... if you wish to see your Puppy and Windows 10 sleep on the same bed

sonny

The biggest little ones, I think, are: 1. AntiX 2. Puppy 3. Porteus AntiX shines with its look and feel. Porteus is always proud of its size and "boot" speed. However, at the end of the day, usability is what matters. How to get your things done, produced, etc. Puppy is simply more balanced, multi ...

Puppy and EasyOS spell F.R.E.E.D.O.M:
R.O.O.T
R.A.M
K.A.U.L.E.R

Never used Puppy before for more than 15 min. I just don't know. LOL I'm going to try EasyOS because I found it while searching uclibc. Nice site BarryK btw. I stumbled upon your corner of the web. Nice to see enthusiasts create things. LOL The whole net is filled with them. :) :thumbup2: :welcome:

Dunno what brought you here. My post had nothing to do with Rock whatsoever. Please keep in mind that each of us here is A VOLUNTEER who does voluntary stuff (coding, testing, tutoring, sharing info, etc etc). Nobody asks and tells anybody to do anything. That's freedom, ain't it tosim? "Donation ...

Will, Proton seems to be nothing but bunch of good-hearted people. the world needs more folks like that! Hope I was not coming across as to negative, just passing along a few not so obvious requirements. Will, our true value as human beings is how useful we are to "others", not to "ourselves". As ...

Got it!

There are 3 (three) EXEC lines in the .desktop file (under Desktop Entry, Desktop Action new-window, and Desktop Action new-private-window)

Just add run-as-spot to each of those lines!

Already tried that. Just tried again. no luck. Since I did a fresh install of Fossapup, Firefox is working well so this is not that important. I am willing to keep trying though. Wait, lemme open my Ventoy real quick ... As far as I remember Brave browser's default folder is saved in /opt. I'll get ...

I can just stop the updates in thee control panel. Just have to redo it every 35 days.

As far as I remember, only WSB does work. No redo necessary!
But if you ran option 1 & 2, all Microsoft-owned sites will be inaccessible; including is msn.com

This is what I saved. Still not working.
Exec=run-as-spot /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --incognito

What about taking off the "--incognito"?
Don't forget to resave it.

It does but Proton's own mail client is in the works I heard. imap/pop/smtp access needs a paid account last time I looked Will, Proton seems to be nothing but bunch of good-hearted people.

To "permanently" turn off Windows' telemetry and its automatic updates, download and run WindowsSpyBlocker.

Here you go. =/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --incognito I opened that last night. Totally found it a different way. Did not scroll down far enough :( :( . It is the last entry on the page. Brilliant! 1. Now, edit that line to Exec=run-as-spot /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --incognito 2. Save it (it ...

I tried this on Fossapup and Xenial with no success. Even did a new install of Fossapup. Probably doing someting wrong. I will wait a while and try again in the future. 1. Would you please reopen this as text: /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop 2. Find and copy a line which starts with ...

I don't use Opera due to WHO is behind it.
Absolutely no peace of mind when browsing with it, so why should I?

sonny

Please pardon me for bringing this up again, however, IMHO, I think WE ALL who make use of this forum, should "reach down" and contribute whatever you can. Remember, Rockedge is paying for the upkeep out of his pocket, and it shouldn't hurt most of us to "kick-in a few", a few times a year! I'm ...

In each of my computers, Vivaldi feels sluggish and least responsive compared to Brave, Chrome, & Firefox.
However, Vivaldi offers unique features some people love (i.e. students, writers).
So, just use the RIGHT browser RIGHT.

Note: As for me and as for now, Opera is not the right browser

sonny

However, not many people are dumb enough to pay more than the cost of the USB stick, SD card, CD/DVD, a small charge for you to do the install on it, and shipping charges to get it to them. Puppy is out there, already being offered this way, by many people. If you want to do it. Do it. Dunno if you ...

It installed and shows up inthe menu but it does not open. Even set it as default app and it does not work. Am I missing something ? Brave browser needs to be run as spot: 1. Open this as text (right click on this file, then choose Open As Text) /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop 2. Add ...

I went through the entire Wizard. It just ended after it "finished". Captain, burning or flashing and running Clonezilla is a child's play! You only need to select BEGINNER, DEVICE TO DEVICE, press some ENTER and TAB. That's all! https://clonezilla.org/screenshots/?in_path=/00_Clonezilla
