Maybe room to develop an ARM designed Puppy Linux

Raspup is a Puppy version that runs on an ARM processor.

It is designed for the Raspberry Pi computers.
They use ARM processors.

I always wonder if it would work on a ARM based computer, other than a Raspberry Pi.

@bigpup
It only runs on Raspberry Pi Boards.

I made Puppy work on my Asus C201 Chromebook (quad-core ARMv7) in 2015 (https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... issues/587), revived this port with Wayland support in 2021 (https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ssues/1847) and later dropped it. Puppy on ARM is not hard to do, but it's hard to collect bug reports and working hands to fix them.

Agreed, I have done little in this area because I don't have an ARM machine to do it on. But I imagine at some point one will land on my doorstep.

I would be interested in Puppy Linux on the Apple M1. And could do some testing. I am running Debian ARM on an Apple M1 using UTM for machine virtualization.
