For me, (Windows) security update is a sign of insecurity. Puppy's update-free system is seal of security.
Just update your mindset, brother. Not your Puppy.

Updating (changing/adding to the current ecosystem) is a risky business. i.e. apps called "A", "B", "C", "D", & "E" have been living and working in perfect harmony. Then, you add a new app in town called "F" into the mix ... Then, A stops working or C starts getting unstable, etc etc. "If you want ...

Rufus 3.1.4 ran fine for me. I'll try frugalpup installer and see if that works because for me Rufus is the only solution that really works! What is Rufus doing right that other Linux options like etcher don't? AFAIR I couldn't flash easyOS.img with Rufus 3.14. Rufus has more features and options ...

Get out of the idea you need to constantly update!!!

Update is actually Winxiety & Winsanity propaganda.
With Puppy, we must renew our mindset!

If you have windows 7 or higher, Rufus will burn the fossapup iso properly to USB. Everything looks normal now and I can create a save folder to sda4. I would not recommend putting fossapup on a ventoy USB. For now this is a great solution. Etcher on Linux did not work for me. Fossapup would not ...

Hello Sir Mike! Are you and mikewalsh the same person? :D I've said this before. Reports of there being billions of people is part of a disinformation campaign. There are only about 10,000 who keep changing their clothes. Changing names is another ploy. Well, you've found us out. Mike Walsh and I ...

Good to know, Sir!

Windows is just Microsoft's "pawn".
It "sacrifices this" in order to "secure that".
It "sells this" in order to "buy that".
It "distracts", "diverts", and "deceives".
That's my "prophesy".

Puppy bootable USB drive contains files like *.sfs, *.adrv, *.fdrv, etc.

Ventoy-created USB drive contains files like puppy.iso, easyos.img, mx.iso, mint.iso, manjaro.iso, etc.

Does it make sense?

sonny

Apps like Rufus and Ventoy clearly work differently for different purposes 1. Rufus extracts "one" ISO/Img format into lotsa files, then loads them into a USB media and makes it bootable 2. Ventoy collects "multiple" ISOs/Imgs (Puppy, MX, Mint, etc) in a USB media, makes the USB bootable, and ...

Hello Sir Mike!
Are you and mikewalsh the same person?

I have never had this issue with xenialpup, tahrpup, or bionicpup. When I burn the fossapup iso to a usb stick using dd or etcher as soon as I boot up I get a menu.lst error. I have seen other posts where users are experiencing the same thing. Is there not an iso I can download that will work on my ...

Mike, what about a little help for "those on the other side of the fence who are staggering to the slaughterhouse"?

As for me, Firefox is always my go to browser + Firefox account + uBlock Origin extension. Then, Brave + uBlock Origin for my other "identity" that needs google services such as gmail, YouTube, etc. (FYI, Brave's privacy (pre)configuration is very good & built-in Tor). I also use ProtonVPN (paid ...

If I were you, I'd get another physical media (SSD or HDD) for Puppy Linux as the operating system and apps, then leave the Kubuntu's media as the data storage.
Why do you want to share the same bed with a "sick" person?
That's just my opinion btw.

1. Open /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop
2. Make sure it has this line:
Exec=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --no-sandbox --test-type --incognito

Some "Secure Boot" aware ISO booting shows "Secure Boot disabled" on some computers.
As for me Secure boot is Microsoft Windows testing the "monopoly waters"... (it's win-win conspiracy for some countries though)

Delphonso, Newer computers have an option called "Secure Boot" in the BIOS. For me, it spells "Windows Boot" and means that no other OS can boot the computer but Windows. So, if you wish to boot from a USB media (Puppy Linux inside), you must... 1. Turn off Secure Boot from the BIOS 2. Enter some ...

Talking about gaming... I used to have a gaming cafe in downtown that served local middle and high schoolers. Those kids LAN-partied and online nearly everyday after school. My cafe was unique cuz I provided each PC with a static IP, so each PC could host games (i.e. DotA, etc). I gave them ...

I "prophesize" that in the future all personal computers will be used like just a "VCR": All OSes and apps are installed in a "cassette" or removable media (pluggable/unpluggable or insertable/ejectable). Either flash media with USB interface/adapter or SSD with or without adapter (for NVME, etc ...

Hi Guys, what you think about this project Neptune Mutual. I read a lot about it but still wondering whether its a good decision to put $1000 into it or not.
