Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi all

I have not seen a poll on the forum, so I thought I would create one.

I am limited to only 10 items, so I do apologise to all developers/members if your build is not included.

Runs for 14 days, just a bit of fun

Hi, @Jasper .

Changes from day to day with me!

I've ticked a couple of the individual items, but in all honesty, most of mine come under "Multiple".....given that most are heavily customized, and more than one is my own FrankenPup re-build, combining various upgraded elements in greater or lesser proportions.

Thanks for the poll, anyway. It's a welcome bit of fun.....

(Kudos for adding the "Multiple" category, BTW. Should cover ALL eventualities, that one..! )

Mike.

I use multiple - mostly peebee's. ScPup64 has been a longtime fave & s15pup64 for the last 6 months. Today I had a big (for me) issue with jrb's Jammypup fixed, so it's right up there now. I always make a ydrv with my customisations & am using my 6.1 kernels.

I am using two ' KLA-OT2baseCE-1.8 , KLV-Airedale '

Peebee's Bionic 32 with an older kernel most of the time (it's not perfect, JWM crashes on me occasionally). I sometimes run my upgraded versions of Racy and Precise for fun. The most stable Puppy I've ever used was Tahr 32-bit. Rock solid.

Those are not Puppy neither are a few others included in the Puppy poll. Creator of the poll should either exclude the non-Puppys from the poll or not make it a Puppy poll as such.

Yes, they are cats

Meaningless
Old actual Pup distros (not even any Jammy variant!)
Yes shows old distros still being used somewhere...
Most distros get used by somebody - that's all that matters.
Maybe we should vote for any Ukrainian distro mentioned - or at least a favourable mention (ala the Eurovision Song Contest)
But distros should not be a competition. Collaboration and finding a flexible approach is a winning formula, not divisive favouritism - are you sure that is fun (?) - usually results in cat/dog fights (including statements regarding who 'belongs' and who doesn't) - well some like that as some weird form of fun I suppose, but I suspect it is destructive and anti-community-building in practice. Not that it matters...

I'm more than sure some of us sometimes use/play-experiment-with Void Pup, for example - as a Puppy distro, it is as good as any other (and in package management somewhat better than most). But ZERO points Void Pup sorry... Void Pup is new and up-to-date, all Fossapup (etc) are old hat really. Result...Meaningless.

i.e. the point of this poll seems to be simply to show how meaningless it is

The pup I want to use is a 400mb Fossa XFCE without a browser.

The one I'm in at the moment is smaller & older than any of those specified in the poll.

Remove the browser if it has one...

lolz

Statistically irrelevant though the poll surely is, I do note that the favourite actual Puppy included in the poll is one that uses XFCE, which if true would be an interesting retort to the idea that most people prefer JWM/ROX combination???...

VoidPup. Stupid name (I know it's based on Void distribution/package management) as void means completely empty (nothing) or not valid. No votes for nothing. Just a stupid name for something (or nothing)

The F96-CE/Fossapup64/F96CE-XFCE-FUSILLI option should be split into 3 options. I bet most users who chose this one still use Fossapup64, while some use F96-CE and few use F96CE-XFCE-FUSILLI.

Thanks a lot for your comment, @dimkr , I understood this means F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI is not a F96CE derivative, is it?

Our new version is going to include a lot of new characteristics, @josejp2424 an @nilsonmorales are doing a really good work.

Cheers.

If you are producing xfce fusilli using a woof-ce building script, then it may be a derivative of F96CE otherwise it's a remaster of the existing released version of F96CE (known as a puplet in puppyland).

No, this is not what it means. If it's a derivative of F96CE, it is what it is (I don't know how you built it). What I'm saying is, if a Puppy developer wants to see if Xfce is indeed popular among Puppy users, it's impossible to tell how many of the users who chose F96CE or F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI use the latter and not the former.

Thanks a lot , @dimkr , can you please explain me now how do you know how many of these votes are for Fossapup64, F96CE and F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI? It's possible you can acccess other info than the rest of us, as users.
Thanks a lot for your unvaluable help.

I don't. What I'm saying is, we can't tell how many of those who use Fossapup64, F96CE or F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI use F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI.

It could be possible this photo can help u

Thanks a lot @AntonioPt for your suggestions.

As you know the F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI team are not professionals and need to do other things to live.- We try to solve all issues, but whe found time difficulties than we can solve.

Of course, if we have money and time, we could improve it much more, but, try to understand, we have these limitations (inconvenients of not being rich, haha)

Thanks everybody for your votes.- What it is important is not the quantity, but the quality, and all your votes have this as a main.

CHEERS.

No worries im here to help if i can and with what i know so far all so lets keep the good work and longo live puppy

You must always must bear this in mind.

I use Vanilla Dpup daily. Just updated to 9.3.21 from 9.3.17
Also testing Vanilla Dpup 10 xwayland 64 bit version. Started with beta 6 and just setup beta 8
All are very solid. I'm even starting to learn a bit about wayland.
I like being up to date. Likely comes from being an old Windoes guy...if you didn't patch it asap you were open to attack.
I don't install any software tend to be a minimalist. That make updating easy even if I have to nuck my save folder.

Morning everybody:

As you know, running a poll can be a valuable resource for gauging user engagement and obtaining insights from your web users.

This polls can provide us with direct feedback, preferences, and opinions from puppy forum audience about their favourite puppy distro, but...

... We can obtain much more information considering one info at the botton of the page.

On 29 May 2023, we will see what about puppy users "implication / participation / interest..." about sharing info.

TODAY.... 17/may/2023 this "implication" is .... 46

(plz, remember it when answering questions, dudes...)

I'm good with both but find XFCE overall a more refined standard that isn't heavy enough to fuss about.

Yet when you try to add it to Puppy there are conflicts with JWM suggesting it has to be as pure & honed as possible. For example, JWM is not a part of the old 32-bit X-series (i.e., no xwin jwm from a terminal prompt). Is it in these new XFCE puplets?

I'm in Xubuntu at the moment & it's hearty competition:

• my SD reader works in Xenial Xubuntu while it does not in 64Xenialpup

• Xubuntu supports bluetooth

• my screen seems higher resolution making smaller fonts more readable

But my USB thumbdrive is still plugged in, & I have to worry about mundane stuff like using old browsers that could corrupt my system.

So there's a Puppy marriage to JWM, but if we did a test like sitting a child down at both, there isn't much question which one they'd gravitate towards. Looks aren't everything but they matter, & XFCE is simply easier to get going on when properly installed.

That written, I was impressed booting 64Fossapup without the adrv. Is that not the smallest decent working contemporary release? The missing current browser dependencies stood out but Pale Moon standalone works. Some boots terminal, file manager, & browser are all I do.

You must always must bear this in mind.

Productivity is tricky without the bribery model. It's amazing Linux as come this far.

But if no distro obtains a simple majority, the second round will be necessary. Right?
