What Puppy version to start with?

Post by jazzdad52 »

I'm ready to download to a zip drive. I don't know what version to download. I have a hp Pavillion x360, with Intel core 13 7th generation. I want to use puppy linux mostly to run only a few programs. OBS studio, and a browser. Which version should I use? Thankyou!

Are you saying, installing to an actual zip drive or a USB flash drive?


I suggest Bionicpup64 8.0
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... 0-uefi.iso

Really any of the newer Puppy versions.
All are slightly different.
With that hardware the newest Puppy versions should work OK.
Intel graphics support, is constantly getting improved. So the newer the Puppy version, the better.

A few others to check out.

Fossapup64 9.0.4

It is in final release testing, but it is working OK and can be used.
I use it.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

What's that?

Suddenly there's two equal topics.
The other topic already has two pages.
That's annoying...
