Flourescent Pup in a light bulb.

Here's the background:

KLV-airedale:

Just starting to develop a lightweight Fossa using Ozsouth's FossaBasic and Rockedge's fdrv (ex Wiak i think) and decided to go with a more "spaceage" theme rather than the original.
Still looking around for backgrounds and icon sets. Plenty of great options in this thread.

Hello puppy users !
These days i use puppy precise 5.7.1 from an updated hungarian version.Just some little things stay in hungarian.Everything run good..I use palemoon portable from mikewalsh.

@Amol , using palemoon but why Firefox icon?

More beauty?

-------

Good system choice....

Hi pp4mnklinux !
Because palemoon is based on firefox and the firefox icon is more colorized than palemoon one.

You're right. palemoon's icon is boring. This one is less so: flinched from reddit, edited with gimp.

Okay, I finally got it right. This realtime kernel is ridiculously fast. It's got me thinking I need to try @rockedge's realtime kernel versions of F96 and KLV-airedale.

@geo_c The kernel 5.4.70-rt40 is one of the better RT huge kernels I've built for Puppy Linux. Works okay in KLV but the new 6.1.38-rt13 that @ozsouth has compiled and the slightly different version that I built with a Timer speed of 1000 mhz instead of 300 mhz. Though 300 mhz is a good choice for more all-around good performance when the kernel is doing mostly general CPU tasks and running servers.

This is a F96-CE_4 with the full real time kernel 6.1.38-rt13 and the ISO is named F96-CE-RT ->

Well don't want to drift too off topic here, but HOLY SCHMACKERELS!!! I just fired up the KLV-Airedale-RT and it's light years faster than the standard SR2!

I was just playing and editing some Ardour audio projects and there's almost zero latency.

That being said, my Dell laptop is spiking up around 75 degrees when running heavy audio plugins and multi-tracks.

It's kind of trade off that way. Jackalpup-RT40 doesn't run quite that hot. But I've basically cut my audio work over to KLV-Airedale because it gets regular updates of Ardour 7.x whereas Jackalpup is version 6.0.

I'll be booting up all these real time kernel OS's you're building.

And here's a screenshot of KLV-Airedale RT:

My remaster of Ozsouth's Fossa95 basic:

Edit: Changed my mind as to what a metamorphosed bookworm might look like.

Despite my initial trepidation, BookwormPup64 has morphed into a splendid OS. BookwormPup64 is currently one of my two 'go-to Puppys'. Pwidgets works, Osmo is fully functional--Tasks and Contacts work. Some version of all the Apps I use work. Even its pulse-audio retains my settings. So I thought I'd celebrate by giving it a wallpaper which reflects that condition.

LibreOffice was the last piece of the puzzle. SFSes don't really work well with BookwormPup64. I tried both Mikewalsh's portable and my modification of it. Neither made me happy. So I took the advice I often give others: think of what a Puppy can do well and use that. BookwormPup64 can use synaptic to install applications from debian-bookworm repositories. Not the latest, but actually newer than those I use with other Puppys. As I use LibreOffice frequently, the additional space in the 'Save' is of little concern.
