Any good, accurate videos/documentation on how to install puppy?

I have been fighting on and off with this os (that should be a hint something needs to be fixed, huh?) trying to get it to install on a machine, at this point, ANY machine. I have tried a VM, and got it to install, but grub would not load it. I am not trying on a physical machine. I wrote the CD to a USB with Rufus in DD mode, and it boots to grub, but grub won't boot.

I am desperately looking for a good, up to date, fully correct and without errors directions, I guess right from download (because every other OS I have tried this with, I was able to get things working fine. I work with computer for a living) to writing to USB, to installing to a machines OS as a "full install"

The tutorial on the install page leads to a 404. The direct link to imgburn leads to essentially a 404.

I am a total loss here. Very very frustrating.

I figure I should add, I will require directions for BIOS systems, as some of the system I will be using do not have UEFI.

YAD Development tips

Hello all,

I was curious to find out if anyone here has a lot of experience with developing solutions in YAD.

I started playing with it more tonight and had some issues in getting commands to run, on the event of a button press.

I believe it needed to run X11 to have this functionality, but I was running version 14.

Best,
Bigmilkguy

4K YouTube Playback on a $55 elderly mini PC? Why Not

I recently picked up a mini PC (Intel N4000, 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC) that came with Windows 11, unsurprisingly, it ran painfully slow. Just for fun, I installed Linux Mint, and while it was usable, it wasn’t exactly snappy. That got me curious about other lightweight distros, so I started testing a few.

Antix was a slight improvement, I could even get flawless 720p playback on YouTube, but something about it just didn’t click for me. Then, with pretty low expectations, I decided to give Puppy Linux a shot.

At first, I found JWM’s interface a bit odd, and the sheer number of preinstalled apps felt overwhelming. But as I spent time removing the ones I knew I wouldn’t use (and inevitably breaking the system in the process), I started to appreciate it more. And one thing became very clear: it was fast. Like, fast enough that I barely noticed a difference compared to my desktop.

That led me to my go-to test for determining whether a distro is viable for my needs (most of my work happens in the browser): playing YouTube videos. Since YouTube is bloated and poorly optimized, it serves as a great real-world benchmark for my basic use case. To my surprise, I was able to play not just 720p60 without dropped frames, but also 1080p60 and even 1440p30! After doing a frugal install, I pushed it further and managed smooth 2160p30 playback, as long as I didn’t have other tabs open.

I never expected to enjoy this mini PC as much as I do now. I originally thought it would just end up as a basic home server, but here we are. If anyone has recommendations for other things to try, I’d love to hear them!
