How Puppy Linux Saved the Day
FossaPup is well worth a try. It is a fun way to learn about Linux. Plus, it offers an interesting alternative to traditional Linux OSes.
The Puppy Linux line has many in-house applications such as Pburn, PuppyPhone, Find’N’Run, Take a Gif, Uextract, Packit, Dunst-config, Picom-gtk, Transtray, and Janky Bluetooth. The Puppy Package Manager (PPM) provides a mix of puppy-specific .pet files and Ubuntu Focal-Fossa packages.
Besides the USB method, you can install this distro two ways onto the hard drive. The Puppy Universal Installer offers to do a full install which uses the entire hard drive partition. The other is a frugal install, which installs only several main Puppy files in a 4FS file extension.
With frugal installations, Puppy automatically saves all changes to the Puppy save file during the computing session and when you shut down the OS. A handy feature lets you set up multiple save files depending on your needs, so you can load different Puppy Linux configurations in one place rather than maintaining various Puppy sticks.
