Who's a Good Boy? A Puppy Linux Mini-Review(bbbhltz.codeberg.page) |
Not that I want to see the end of Microsoft like many do. In fact, I don't care. But it could be in real trouble if the masses suddenly became aware of simple, easy, and efficient software like Puppy -- which makes people's dependence on MS even more inexplicable.
My experience is that most people like Linux provided someone else installs it for them.
I fondly remember learning that I could run Linux off of a floppy disk. A GUI session took two. You had to format the disks to hold slightly more data. tomsrtbt maybe?
Getting my first CD burner and having access to a whole CD worth of data at once was such a jump forward, even if half of them became coasters.
>General hardware minimum system requirements are:
* CPU Type = x86, x86_64, AMD64
* 32bit Puppy's - CPU = single core Pentium 4 or equiv, RAM = 512mb
* 64bit Puppy's - CPU = 64 bit dual core, RAM = 1gb

(and closer to the first 'Core' (non-Duo/non-Quad), since the evolution went P3>PM>Core and P4 was mostly tossed away apart from a few years of Celerons)
I am far from sure how you would measure "most". Number of executables, number of GUI apps...?. These days there are probably more GUI apps for mobile platforms than for desktops in any case.
A lot of the most commonly used software (e.g. web browsers) is cross platform.
Of course there is a lot of niche software that is Windows specific, but a lot of that has or will move to web based SaaS (not a good thing in my view, BTW).
