Looking for a Linux & Unix Discord Community?

Hey everyone,

I don't want to waste your time, so I'll keep this short.

If you like Unix and tech and you want a place where you can ask questions, share what you are working on, or just talk to other enthusiasts as yourself, we have a Discord server called Unixverse.

The server has been active since 2023. We are over 1000 members and still growing.

We have dedicated channels for most Unix and Linux distributions, plus general spaces for troubleshooting, tools, and broader tech discussions.

If that sounds like your kind of community, feel free to drop in and have a look.

Legacy version for really, really old laptop?

I have an ancient Sony Vaio with the whole of 128 Mb RAM. Just bear in mind I am not super technical.

I've been trying to install Puppy Linux but here is my dilemma:

I can install older version like 4.0 or maybe 5.0 OK, but I can't find a web browers for those versions that will contect with modern website (it's always blocked by some sort of security or certificate issue). With later versions of Puppy Linux choke the laptop if the install at all.

Is there a Goldie Locks combo that might just work?


Also note, as this laptop refuses to boot from USB or CD regardless of how I configure the BIOS what I am doing in extracting the hard drive, installing the "iso" on the hard drive, plugging it back in and booting from there. Is that approach doomed to fail?

Puppy installation on Chromebook CX1100CNA

Hello! I'm new to puppy linux, and I'm loving it so far, but I have two issues I've been investigating.

I'm using an ASUS Chromebook CX1100CNA, with code name BABYMEGA, which seems to be supported by the chrultrabook project.

I tested this machine with Artix and Debian, having varying degrees of success, e.g. on Artix audio and touchpad worked great, on Debian only the touchpad worked great, and now that I'm using puppy (Bookwormpup64) neither the audio nor the touchpad work as expected.

\- Regarding audio, I have no audio, not even with headphones connected through the computer's jack port
\- Regarding touchpad, it kinda works, it's slow and hard to click with the physical buttons. I tried to use the touchpad manager inside the setup option, but when I did that the touchpad stopped working altogether and I could only use a USB mouse

Could it be that I'm missing firmware?

Suggestion of improvement for the download experience of ISO files on the Puppy Linux website

Suggestion of improvement for the download experience of ISO files on the Puppy Linux website

Hello, I don't know if some of the people / Development Team behind the Puppy Linux project are active on this community / Subreddit, but I would like to suggest that the way in what the information is displayed and presented on the website and how the links to download the different ISOs on the Puppy Linux "Forum" (https://forum.puppylinux.com/puppy-linux-collection) should be revised.

I have been a Puppy Linux user for more than a year now and I also have previous experience with Linux for a couple of years. From the first time I visited the website I thought the same. If even I find it very hard to find the ISO that I need or intend to download. I mean, if even I as someone who knows what is the file that I need to download, find it quite hard, I cannot imagine how hard it would be for a newcomer to the Linux ecosystem. It gives me the feeling that the information seems to be presented to make it "as hard as possible" to get the proper version for the system.

https://preview.redd.it/ufuamg580bgg1.png?width=1883&format=png&auto=webp&s=c030a0a11ff5232aaeb2bc8bac8fd74af927d380

Just for reference, I am attaching a screenshot of how the information prior to download is presented

Not to mention that some of the ISOs are hosted on SourceForge, while at least one of them is hosted on Mega [Ubuntu base - F96-CE (64 bit)\]

Just as a suggestion, perhaps if there is any version that is "Community Supported", it could be separated on its own category, just like for example Manjaro displays their "Official Images" vs the "Community Images"

I also think a better job could be done, marking, categorizing or differentiating Puppy Linux 32bit versions from the 64bit ones. Just indicating "(64-bit)" or "(32-bit)" is a bit confusing if the downloads are displayed as an all-together.

I don't think that trying to better organize the information would be too hard. Other Linux distributions or projects make it super easy to find the right download link on their websites. Just to mention 3 random examples:

1. Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com/download.php) AND (https://linuxmint.com/download\_all.php)
2. Manjaro (https://manjaro.org/products/download/x86)
3. CachyOS (https://cachyos.org/download/)

Final Note: My intention was to make a constructive criticism and by no means being rude or sound harsh. Just to send a suggestion for Future improvement. I like Puppy Linux and how it managed to give new life to my 2010 (quite old) Laptop
