Discussion, talk and tips
https://forum.puppylinux.com/
This thread (https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=4384) posed the question on How to help get Puppy a higher hit count on Distrowatch?
So we had 9 pages of discussion, and I wondered if a vote would help clarify what the majority thinks we should do.
The people have spoken.
My personal take-away is that half of us don't care about Puppy's Distrowatch ranking.
The other half feel the single best thing we could do to increase it would be to improve PPM.
It is possible not caring benefits productivity.
I would question if popularity has anything to do with the PPM or if improvement is just a wish list item.
Does anyone not boot Puppy and prefer another distro because of the PPM?
The PPM for me is a competitive advantage in its current state because I have minimal problems with versions older than 2.5 and it is better than other distro family installation utilities.
Those rankings are meaningless and are merely just click counts on the site and not the figures of actual users.
Consolidate Puppy and EasyOS together at Distrowatch to raise ranking
That would be like combining Linux Mint with Puppy Linux.
EasyOS is not Puppy Linux and Puppy Linux is not EasyOS.
They may do some stuff similar, but they are completely a separate Linux OS.
All click on Puppy daily over at Distrowatch, is probably the best thing we could do.
Those rankings are meaningless and are merely just click counts on the site and not the figures of actual users.
True, but a lot of people think that is a list of what Linux OS is the best one.
Number 1 must be the best Linux OS.
At one time, Puppy Linux was number 2 on the hit list.
