Problem is when many people are involved creating pages maintenance becomes a nightmare - people create a wiki page then vanish and soon the whole wiki is a mess of out-of-date info.

That's a valid concern, but it's a wiki, so other people can replace the out-of-date info. And also because it's ...

How about this?

Make a new MediaWiki-powered wiki (I know you've considered this before.) and make that the new website.

Have the website and wiki be one and the same.

I wonder if the posts here are talking about it

I think you found it! The name, version, and even date are the same as the ISO on archive.org.

Well maybe I am wrong, but I do remember very early versions being in the 8.something number.

Because I questioned if Fossapup64 is going to actually be the 9.0 version of Puppy.

Now I see exactly what you downloaded.
It is Focal64-8.0.iso
Which says it is Fossapup64 8.0

Wait, seriously? If ...

That is one of the early versions of Fossapup64.

Basically the alpha stage of development version.

Really it was released for testing, bug finding, and fixing.

In development of Fossapup64, a newer version was released as it developed.
Kept bumping up the version number.

We the Puppy users are ...

I found this ISO (focal64-8.0.iso) on archive.org. It was built in May 2021, and I can't seem to find any information on it online.

Some weird bugs like his eyes being transparent, and it also seems to crash after a bit.

As usual one can select a style theme in the User Control Panel->Board Preferences

You could do that the whole time?! I only just found out about this!

Can we get @BarryK to "announce" the "release" on his blog?

Hello again everyone. I am also learning the first steps in Linux. And the question is, what desktop environment or window manager does Puppy Linux use?

Most Puppies, including BookwormPup64 use JWM (Joe's Window Manager) with the ROX-Filer file manager.

No matter what gets announced on distrowatch, puppylinux.com is the first search result for "puppy linux" and needs to be updated. I think this is way more important than representation on dw.

Yes! Was wondering why no one was addressing the fossa in the room.

Using Ventoy 1.0.97, alpha2 doesn't work, at least on my computer. It seems to go through the boot process fine, but then it's just black.

IdfbAn

alpha2 is already out? What are the differences between it and alpha1?

IMO, BookwormPup64 and F96-CE too (edit: probably more suitable for modern computers).

Maybe S15Pup64 too? I'm less sure of that, though.

How exactly would this be useful for Puppy?

@IdfbAn :-

DeaDBeeF's GUI only works if the devx sfs is loaded...

Have you tried firing-up DeaDBeeF from the terminal without the devx loaded, to see what output it gives (and exactly what it's complaining about?) I very much doubt you need all that lot for it to run; probably just a couple of ...

Or if you want the specific kernel-kit build, alpha2 uses the one here. The artifacts have since expired, though.

@IdfbAn

Thanks for doing this ............. on the page it informs you the ISO is 3 weeks old.

Which kernel are you using for this particular build?

I'm using the release.yml workflow for now, so the one here. (At least, I think)
