The newer Puppy versions will work better, have updated and bug fixed Puppy core programs and files, give better support to the newest versions of Browsers, etc.....
Any version of Puppy will work on old legacy bios.
UEFI in the iso name indicates it also has the added stuff to work with UEFI.
How do you know they are using the best Puppy version for the computer they have and what they are trying to do????????????There you go again. Criticising somebody else's choice....
I know you firmly believe that anybody with a lick of sense should always go for the very newest version of everything. But bigpup - dear bigpup - have some respect for the choices of others, hmm?
This is not a flame war!I did not mean to start a flame war!
I have a very new computer (not HP) with secure boot disabled and CSM enabled in the UEFI.My "beef" is with HP's implementation of the UEFI software, and the fact that it simply will NOT allow booting of older Puppies, many of which I used to really enjoy playing around with....
Yah; I know what you mean.bigpup wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 7:52 pmHowever, the issue with some of them is they do not support this very new hardware.
Some just never make it to a desktop.
Some boot to a working desktop, but may not have sound, wifi, printer, network, etc...... working.
Probably could work if I took time installing needed support stuff.
