Puppy Linux isn't in the mainstream, isn't aimed at users who aren't in the know, and you can cherry-pick anything if you look far enough outside the realm of "Plausibly installed on more than five hundred consumer systems."
- robbya 7y agoIs that clear from their homepage? > Ease of use → grandpa-friendly certified™ http://puppylinux.com/ http://puppylinux.com/ If I wasn't tech savvy and I stumbled into Puppy, I'd assume it was targeting non-tech savvy people based on that statement at the top of the homepage. Then I'd likely feel burned by "Linux" when it wasn't. There is a marketing problem there. Although in that example, why is a mainstream user looking at puppy in the first place? So I think you're right, that's a cherry picked example.
