Puppy Linux on Wayland, Sort Of
- xupybd 5y agoI had a work PC fail at a quarter to five one Friday night. They needed a PC on the floor to view online PDFs for production. The workshop is on a different network to our office domain. The only spare I had was set-up for domain access. At close to five I didn't want to reinstall Windows. I downloaded Puppy Linux to a USB flash drive and set them up for the night shift. It's still running. It's faster and more stable than the rest of our network.

- pjmlp 5y agoMost netbook distributions used to be Puppy Linux forks actually.
- christophilus 5y agoI’ve never even considered using Puppy. Anyone using Puppy as a daily driver? What’s your experience like? I’m currently Fedora+Gnome and Arch+Sway, depending on the machine. Pretty happy with both, but Debian compatibility would be nice, since that’s what I run in production.
- TonyBagODonuts 5y agoI had used puppy for about a year, it's super fast, loaded the entire os into ram at boot. Gave up on it when I started trying to get non-repo software into pups, certain things just wouldn't work, Kodi for example, so I moved on.
